Making accurate half-square triangle units is only the first step. Next you have to sew them together so that seams line up and you don't lose points! Here's how I do it. freshly-pieced... to purchase the Perfect HST Templates
This is a great tip. When I LOOK at the exact spot I am going for I have a much greater chance of hitting it. And open seams are the ticket here too. Big help! Thank you, I am subscribing!
Folding the seamline down is so important! I lined up my seams at the fabric edge and nothing matched right after it was sewn. Thank you for this tutorial!
I was about to go out of my mind trying my first quilt with hst and your video popped up. Immediately did 3 using this tip and all turned out perfect!! Thank you!
You’re saying you press seams open for “perfect” blocks but at 4:00 mins you show the backside and your seam allowance is clearly not 1/4” from one end to the other so did you square the block up after sewing? I’d also like to see how you iron the center of your 4 HSTs to help reduce bulk
If I'm going to do a 3x3 half triangle square (total of 9 half triangles combined into 1 square) and i need it to be the same size as a solid 12.5" square, how do I calculate that?
Don't they make drop down tables where the sewing machine sets flush with the table top? That gap would drive me crazy. Its why I haven't bought one yet
