Half-Square Triangles

Sew Easy Triangles are here! Forget about the old ways to make half-square triangles. No more chain-piecing, or marking, pinning, and squaring up.

Sew Easy Triangles are a gridded system of fusible stabilizer that allows you to create dozens of triangles in a fraction of the time it used to take.  Available in six different sizes, any pattern can be adapted to them.  Here’s how:

Choose the size of triangles needed.  Cut two pieces of fabric slightly larger than the sheet of triangle paper and press right sides together.  Sew a basting line close to the edge on three sides.  (This is strictly for holding the back fabric together with the top so it doesn’t flip under during the sewing process.)  Press the Sew Easy Triangle paper to one side of the fabric sandwich.

Stitch along all the dotted stitching lines on the stabilizer, turning and pivoting without cutting the threads. Using a rotary cutter, mat, and ruler, cut along all the solid cutting lines. Remove the paper backing and press open with the seam allowance to the darker of the two fabrics. Voila! Precise half-square triangles, quickly and easily.

   Don’t need a full sheet of triangles? Cut off what you need and save the rest for later. Or, make a full sheet and save the extras for another project. You’ll have enough for a scrappy quilt in no time.

   Mix and match the triangle sizes. Use the 2″ and 4″ together to make your project more visually interesting. Or use the 1 1/2″ and 3″ together

   Need an odd size? Make the next closest larger size and trim to the size needed

   Great for pieced borders, pinwheels, bear’s paws, etc.

Quarter-square triangles are just that – four triangles that form a square. Formerly, you had to cut all the individual triangles and sew them together to make the square, kind of touchy since you are working with all bias edges which warp and stretch and distort if you even look at them the wrong way.

Our technique for doing quarter-square triangles (qst) is the same as for the half-square triangles (hst):

Stitch two fabrics right sides together on 2-3 edges. Press the qst gridded paper onto the fabric. Sew on the dotted stitching lines, and cut on the solid cutting lines. Peel the paper off and Voila! Painless quarter-squares!

The border on this quilt was made with 5″ finished quarter-square triangle blocks, with every other one turned upside down. The corners are a blue and yellow half-square triangle block. Makes it look alot more complicated than it really is. The sawtooth stars are 8″ blocks made with 2″ finished half-square triangles. The points came out beautifully with the Sew Easy Triangles, and no squaring up!
