I like drawing grids of squares, size dependent on finished size of block, then drawing the diagonals and sewing 1/4" on either side of the line. In one fell swoop, I can do many more than four HST.

I like this method, but be aware that all of your outside edges are now on the bias. For me, that's the only down side to this method.

Yes, the edges are on bias, but you are usually attaching to a straight grain, so the edges should not stretch. If you sew them together with bias side to the feed dogs, there should be no problem.

I have a set of attachments, (right now I can't think of the name) that add to your ruler to show exactly how much to cut extra to make either half square triangles or quarter square triangles.
They attach to the side of your ruler with suction cups. then for say, 2" blocks, you set your ruler to 2", but cut at the edge of the attachment. The one adds 7/8", the other adds more. |
I always seem to forget the formulas measurements for these things
|
Great info...that's why I love the QB!!!!
|
Bias isn't a problem at all if you put a 1/2" strip of fusible interfacing diagonally and then cut. I buy it on a roll like tape.

Where could I find the formula for Rose-Marie's HST
