I looked it up too and ordered it. Print and Sew doesn't do Flying Geese. All your fault Candace--making me spend money! :lol: :lol: :lol:

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.......

This method has the straight of grain on the seam - the four edges are bias.

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

Okay, why a ruler, outside of cutting the squares a certain size and drawing a straight line?

If I am making a quilt that is all hst, like the Lone Star I made I use my Wondercut ruler because it is so fast. I can make all of the hst's in a couple of hours. If I cut squares, draw the line, sew on both sides--it would take a lot longer than I can do it with my ruler.

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.

I was completely shocked at this method when I first saw it but I love it!!!

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

For larger HST's, I use the 2 square, diagonal line method.
