This has been an interesting thread to read. I have learned that there are many different methods that can be used. I have been reading about Deb Tucker's ruler and Lazy girls Designs ruler and Eleanor Burns rulers and all their methods. Also I have a GO and am not having good luck doing it that way either. Probably more options are available too! I would like some advice from someone who is familiar with all of these and give their opinion on them. I don't want to buy them all and I am confused.
Thank you, Pat.

Would "the other way" be Eleanor Burns method? Sounds like it may be. I have done it many times, and have been happy with it. I do not have her special ruler, but don't have a problem without it.

Congratulations on mastering flying geese. I love those "ah ha" moments when everything clicks and falls into place.

I go for easy. I use the one seam flying geese method. I stitch the folded edges if they are bigger then 2 inches. I won viewer's choice last year at our local quilt show with just rows of flying geese in bright yellow and white. All were made using the one seam method.

Please share your finished project with us. I had the same ah-ha feeling when I semi-mastered paper piecing. Good feeling.

Maviskw, I believe that method you are talking about is how Eleanor Burns does flying geese, and I like her method.
