I have used the Easy Angle Ruler. It was the first thing I learned to use when I started quilting last October. I should give it another try as I'm sure my sewing skills have much improved.
I am currently using the Fons and Porter ruler. I did make the squares 1/2 inch bigger but still some are a little "off". |
I use the Kay England version of the easy angle ruler but find I still prefer to oversize my strip a little and cut them a little bigger and trim. Love her Nifty Notions rulers. They are easier for me to read.

This is the way I make mine. As a matter of fact, I'm making this quilt as we speak. This HST is sooooo very easy to make. :thumbup:

I have one of the rulers. It takes the guess work out go the process and saves material.

I swear by triangulations. My hst are right on the money, but if you are making scrappy hst, I use the easy angle that Bonnie Hunter uses. Yes, some of mine aren't as perfect this way, but I just trim those down to the next size I use.

I thought I had these things figured out!
I am making my squares 3 inches and drawing the line down the middle, etc. It seems as though some of them have plenty of room to trim while the other half is almost too small. I must be shifting my fabric or something. They are still all fine to use but I sure do find them to be tricky. I am making a small table topper from the Kim Diehl Simple Whatnots Club. It is going together fast. |

I'm working with HST now, too. What is the math for making them with this method?

I use Quilt In A Day's method using large sqs to make 8 hst at a time then sq up with the triangle sq up ruler with one cut. Perfect every time and so fast and easy. 6 in sqs for 2 1/2 in --8 in sqs for 3 1/2 in.
Just draw an x on the wrong side of top sq and sew down both sides of lines. cut in half both ways then on lines. Sq up with their ruler with only one cut. |
