    whatever the size, the length and width would have to be divisible by the same number. 14x20 would only be 2" hst's
    if you want them larger, say 3" hst's, your mat would have to be 15x18 perhaps. this is what the 2" would look like

    I prefer making chevrons without HSTs since they produce a lot of bulk. There was this free pattern on F&P website but the link doesn't work any more

    I drew this on EQ7 to display how easy this method can be:
