    Have you tried Bloc-Loc? A game changer. Make your half Square triangles a tad larger and use the template to trim. Perfection every time!

    It took me a few tries to figure it out but now it's my go to ruler for HST. The way I remember is Logo to the Low side.

    They are great rulers and worth the money. I add an inch to the finished size I want, mark a line on the diagonal and stitch 1/4” on both sides of that line. Cut on that line and then trim on the bloc loc ruler. Perfect! I also like to do 8 HST at a time.

    I always thought the Bloc Loc ruler was just another one of those rulers that I thought I needed but wasn't that useful. WRONG! I used someones at a guild sewing day. OMG wonderful. I pulled out my phone and ordered one right away. This is one of those rulers that is worth every penny I paid. I have heard their flying geese ruler is good also but have never used one.
