What size do I now need to make it to accommodate the seem where I cut it diagonally and it becomes triangles? I don't know how to figure this out.
I would love to have an explanation/formula in case I decide to do this with other size blocks in the future.
I don't have EQ any version right now.
I would appreciate some help with this one and will look into getting EQ.

I print them out as a foundation block, and because these are small enough I checked the box "print as many as fit" in options and I can get two rows of blocks per page.
You can do this in any of the EQ programs

I have never understood why there are so many books out there on EQ, do you have to have them to do everything on the program?

So far, everything that I have wanted to learn, I was able to learn from the manual... EQ6 was my first, and I would grab a cup of coffee and the manual and work through a lesson... go back and review the previous ones until I was comfortable enough to move forward.

One of our LQS had a two hour class. I took it and loved it but by the time I got home I forgot everything past the first 15 minutes. I wish the shops offered more classes on EQ. I know that once I have the basics down I will be able to experiment more on my own.
