Default HST w/o having to draw a line

I was reading a different thread about a new to me way to make hst, but it did involve drawing a line on the square corner to corner. I got to thinking about ways to not have to take the time to draw corner to corner. I know there are lots of gizmos to do this with, lights and stickers on your machine and the like. My idea was just a simple piece of paper that is long enough to go from corner to corner. I wanted to try my idea immediately so I used what I had typing paper, but next time (and there will be a next time) I am going to use fine grit sand paper it won't be a slippery as the typing paper. I measured my feet and found one that had a 1/4 inch edge going to the left from the needle.

I started w/ 3.5 inch squares and ended up w/ these perfect 3 inch hst and just a tiny bit of trimming.
