I have this and I love it.

I use the Eleanor Burns method which gives you 8 HSTs when you finish. They are a little oversized and I trim them down. I'm not good with triangles and when I try other methods I tend to have problems.

I do the same thing but do use the Angler 2 also.

If you put two squares together and sew 1/4 inch all the way around, then cut in half corner to corner, you get the same results easier

I have many types of rulers and tools to make HSTs. I found all of them useful, according to my mood at the time. I don't like having just one way to make the same thing.

Tomorrow I will post a tute using 2 pieces of tape on my machine bed/table to make HST's. No rulers, no special tools, no marking. Good for 1/4" seams, too! |
That's how I do mine too :)
|
i use THANGLES.... THE BEST...WAY TO DO HALF SQUARE TRIANGLES..
|
I use the index card method too. It replaces having to mark the center line across the block. Just start by dropping the needle in position, then line up the card. Sew beside the card and it's done. If you happen to stray and sew ONTO the card, it's only paper, easy fix !

I have had inklingo for several years never used it, then forgot about it. It was one of those impulse buys that I had to have. Maybe I should dig it out and try it. |
