This is one reason why I LOVE my Accuquilt Go - perfect HSTs every time - and the dogears are cut off!

Nolee, there's no need to spend money to make perfect HST's I make mine with the Eleanor Burns method using a rectangle instead of a square like suesews showed (I think it was) using the square and the x sewing on both sides of the diagonal line cut them down to perfect everytime.

Thanks for the info. I was going to try the sewing all around thing and then cut, but now I think I'll just do the two seams on the diagonal and then cutting. I really appreciate your advice.

I, too, use Triangulations2 You just put it in your computer and print out the size you want. So easy and they work out beautifully.

I love that ruler. I make mine a tad larger and trim and they are perfect. You cant go wron with this ruler.

Thank you - I am so glad this subject came up - I, too, wondered what can I possibly be doing wrong???? They aren't lining up! I'll try your idea of starting out a little larger. Thanks.
