    Oh, that is so true. LOL Those off measurements drive me bonkers just reading about them.

    Definitely add the extra and trim to size. Such paractice I got when I had to redo all of my HST for a quilt because I used 3 7/8" and they were thisclose to being the correect size.

    I do the 4 inches too. Somehow mine never come out as big as they are supposed to, so that extra eighth of an inch makes a difference. Squaring up takes more time, but my points come out well.
