Run, don't walk to your LQS and get a Wing Clipper. I was amazed at how much that helps. I have Deb Tucker's Wing Clipper and I just love it. I use it all the time, works great to trim HSTs too.

I am very bad at making flying geese. Can't help, but you have my complete sympathy.

Last week I just got done making 120 flying geese for the border on a quilt, 40 on each side. And they all are perfect --- I was so proud, especially since my ordinary square pieced blocks seem to always be different sizes. I did them via paper piecing Whenever I do a quilt with points, this is the only way for me to do them, and I love it. You can just google flying geese paper piece and get patterns that way. I have a lot of paper piecing software as well as EQ and books. I then print them out on newspaper print paper (from pads from local craft store). Karen

This is the first time I've seen this way and I love it. I've been doing the E. Burns ruler type and they do turn out quite nice although the sizing is limited to the size ruler you have. With the R Tims style, you could also roll the middle back like a cathedral window type quilt. Of course, once on youtube I had to investigate the other methods and found another one where you end up with a row of geese rather than single geese. Pretty cool, although the video nearly put me to sleep!
