Accuquilt HST die problem
I am making a quilt that calls for lots of half square triangles that should have a cut finish of 4 1/2" and 4" for a finished size. They are to be used in conjunction with 4 1/2" cut size ( 4"finished size) squares which I have cut out using the accuquilt square die .
HOWEVER, the square die cuts an accurate 4 1/2" square but the HST die will not make a 4 1/2" triangle UNLESS you use a Very, very skimpy scant 1/4" seam. I am familiar with using scant 1/4" seams, but this requires a scant, scant 1/4" seam to make the block a 4 1/2" triangle that will line up properly with the square cut using the accuquilt die.
I can use the next size up HST die, and then square it up to the correct size needed, but then it really negates the need for using the Accuquilt, as it winds up taking even longer.
Have any of you had a similar experience with these dies?
