Aside from the numerous bias reasons stated above, I find this a much easier method of achieving the triangles. Short cuts work for me!

Thanks for the website - I've just watched it - WOW! Maybe now I can do half-square triangles.
And to Hevemi - thanks for the info about measurements - I'm off to sew!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: to both of you!! |

so, if my old fashioned pattern calls for 4 7/8 in sq's cut, to make l/2 sq traiangles. i need to buy 4" thangles. right? prob, i will just take junk matarial and practice making my pattern, before i start cutting the whole quilt. that's what i usually do.
