I have all of El Burns rulers and love her methods.
Flying geese are always perfect. Some of the sizes waste a little fabric but who cares. |
I really like EQ's templates for this. I can cut my pieces, no waste, perfect seams and points. :D:D:D
|
I love Eleanor Burns way also, used to do the cutting triangles but hated dealing with bias and possibility of stretching out of shape with Eleanor no bias to deal with. As she says always get perky points.

i just used my joann coupon and got EB flying geese rulers!
thanks everyone for the info! |
I cut the rectangle and two squares.
If they are large enough, I actually sew another line in the corner piece and trim that off for an extra HST. Got a whole boatload of HSTs that way. If they are not large enough, I only trim one layer of the square fabric and press it over the rectangle. |

Thanks for the info.....the utubes, directions were helpful for me.

This works very well, indeed.

I love the one big square and 4 small squares method...found out about it in a magazine many years ago...as long as you cut accurately and sew a true 1/4" it works great...and I like that there is no waste.
