Of all the things I have tried so far, my favorite is HSTs cut with the Accuquilt Go!
My second favorite method is Thangles. It may possibly be even more accurate than the Go!, but I don't care much for removing the paper (although makes a decent mindless task while watching tv). Edit: I can see where the Triangulations software would be very similar to using Thangles. Will have to put that software on my wishlist....... |

Two squares with diagonal line & sewn seams 1/4" on either side has straight of grain on the edges. |
I like Thangles. But, my favorite is my Wonder Cut Ruler...so much you can do with it. http://www.connectingthreads.com/Too...r__D81315.HTML

I've always used the thangles, but now that the Wondercut ruler was mentioned, I'll have to check into that. Always good information on here.

For HST's 2-1/2 " finished and smaller, I print these papers:
