I was at a quilt store in Frankenmuth Mi and saw a template that made HST's. It was the size of 1 1/2x11 inch paper.You put it on your material drew in the lines sew and cut. It came in different size triangles. I didn't buy it but wished I would have bought one to try out. I can't remember the name of the maker though. The owner demoed it and it looked like it would work quite well. Maybe I can try calling and find out the name. If anyone knows let me know.
