A forgotten way to make HST 8 at a time
#23
I use and teach that method all the time except that for finished 3" squares and using 7 3/4" squares, I use 8" and square up the HST blocks after they are pressed. There isn't much to trim, but they are so accurate that way.

Hi judy363905, so true I used this method years ago, I guess sometimes the old ways are best.Some of the fancy -- and expensive rulers etc. are really not needed- better to ask older members how they do things and save your money for fabric --- can't replace that ! Love Letty

Thanks bunches for this. Wish I knew this before I bought the SMUP ruler by Elsia Backporch. But I'm a notion kinda of girl. I haven't actually used it yet. But here is what I'm talking about, and it's kinda limited compared to your method.
