🔸Making half square triangles can be time-consuming, but this method allows you to create 32 at once.
📐You will need a larger fabric square to start with, but the outcome is worth it.
✂️Marking and cutting along the drawn lines is crucial to ensure accurate half square triangles.
📏Using a rotating cutting mat can make the process even easier.
🧵Pressing and trimming the half square triangles completes the process.
What are the advantages of making 32 half square triangles at once?
—Making 32 half square triangles at once saves time and ensures consistency in shape and size.
Do I need special tools to use this method?
—You will need a quilting ruler, marking pen or pencil, sewing machine, thread, rotary cutter, and rotary cutting mat.
What size fabric square do I need to start with?
—The size of the fabric square depends on the desired finished size of your half square triangles. Use the quilty math provided in the resource guide for accurate measurements.
Can I use this method for smaller squares?
—This method works best with larger fabric squares because it requires a larger starting fabric piece.
Are there any alternatives to using a rotating cutting mat?
—If you don't have a rotating cutting mat, you can rotate your cutting mat manually without moving the fabric.
