Using the Easy Angle triangle and the EA Companion triangle uses this idea. For a 2" finished triangle cut a 2 1/2" strip and use the ruler to cut your HST..I like it because I can utilize evenly cut leftover strips for triangles.
I have problems buying precuts too. From my experience using them in the LQS, is that there are a certain number of pieces you don't use and off they go into a scrap pile.
