I use Rhonda's HST cut down method. It is so easy to do and I always end up with the exact size square I need.

I gave up long ago and just started cutting my squares large enough that I could sew them on the diagonal, cut them in half, press them and then square them up and cut them back to the desired size. In other words, if I need a 3" square, I start with 4" squares and trim them back. Also, starching helps a lot.

The rule is to add 7/8ths of an inch but you can add an inch or even an inch and a quarter and the square them up to perfect.
