Great idea! I would have to be alert to not sew the cardboard to the fabric!

will have to try...thanks for sharing

I wonder if you had thicker cardboard, or even a short ruler, would you still sew it to the fabric? I like the sandpaper idea; it shouldn't slip. Also, doing it this way means you won't have another HST square already made - does anyone actually use those later?

Hmmm...this would make a faster flying geese block, too. Thanks for posting it.

Wow, that is an awesome idea!

I hesitated a long time before purchasing but I feel that I got my money's worth from the purchase of the Angler 2 ruler that you tape to the bed of your machine . Shows the angle line you need for this and also your quarter inch seam line. The last quilt I made was easy to match up blocks because my seams were all the same width. LOVE the ANGLER 2.

Those dividers that come in Lipton Tea Bags should work great!

So clever, thanks for the post.

How about taping the cardboard or whatever is used to the bed of the machine at both the ends? Then slide the corner underneath the strip to the right location and then sew along the edge? I haven't tried this yet, but it would be a time saver since the cardboard strip does not have to be positioned every time while chain piecing.

That's a clever idea!
