How much faster really? - 4 half triangles from one square?
#12
I use the Nifty Notion rulers, and they have a HST that's SUPER easy and quilt, and cut from a strip of fabric.
It's really easy and you save a bunch of fabric. Here's an online tutorial I found. http://emsscrapbag.blogspot.com/2008...y-notions.html
I just started quilting and this is the only rulers my LQS stock, so I was surprised when I was shown the traditional way...much more complicated IMHO. :)

That is why it is nice that there are so many methods available. I like the Wondercut because it is faster than the others and if I am making a quilt with a zillion hst's I don't want to do each square one at a time.

Lynn Roddy Brown has a method for making HSTs that is quick and easy. She uses the Quilt In A Day Triangle Square Up Ruler. I like that ruler because you square the block up before you press it open.
I also have the June Tailor Perfect QST and HST ruler. I like it for drawing and cutting the center line, but I don't use it for squareing them up.

I don't like bias edges either. I think those would take me longer in the long run having to be all careful with the edges. I just got the triangulations cd so I'm going to use that the next time.
