There is software called Triangulations that allows you to print papers in multiple sizes for half square triangles, quarter square triangles, and I don't know what else. I have an older version that I've used and it was really easy. You have it right at your fingertips whenever you want it.

https://www.amazon.com/Bear-Paw-Tria.../dp/1936207168

I know there are other products you can purchase, but this is what I have.

I have drawn my own PP patterns for HSTs and other designs on graph paper.

Also, google has lots of free PP HSTs and more waiting for you!
All you have to do is ask!

I am needing over 500 1" HST's and found this site. Looks very promising!!
I have printed it off on Carol Doal's Foundation Paper and going head first
into it in the morning. Wish me luck but. A trial run worked perfectly.

Absolutely amazing!!! I just made 40 1" hst's from start in about 30 minutes. Over 500 doesn't sound
nearly as intimidating as it did.

Years ago I made a quilt that required a lot of HST, I don't remember now who taught me how to do it but what I did was draw the size I needed directly on to the fabric and I then just cut off the dog ears. Come to think about it I believe it was either Eleanor Burns or Shar Jorgensen. It's very similar to the 8 at a time process.

I always use "Triangles on a Roll"' by Quilters Ranch, Inc. The largest size that I have in my sewing room is 3 1/2" and the smallest is 1" and you must remember that this is the finished size. Other sizes are available and reasonably priced. If you use these, sew with the smallest stitch on your machine and it will perforate the paper to make tearing off so much easier. On my Janome I use a 2.2 stitch length.
