Join me as we walk through the addictive, no-trim method for creating Half Square Triangles (HSTs) from fabric strips. This video walks you through the quick and efficient process of sewing and cutting HSTs using a strip method that saves time and effort. You’ll learn how to sew fabric strips into a tube, use masking tape or specialty rulers for precise cuts, and create perfect HSTs without the need for trimming. It's SO much faster than traditional methods. Plus, check out my free online calculator to convert any pattern into the HST by the strip method.
