Wait wait wait, that scrap of fabric btwn bits of sewing to hang on to the thread... this blew my mind, I love it so much. Prob one of my biggest frustrations, solved. Bam.
I watch 3 or 4 tutorials and it’s just a foreign language to me. I watch you and listen to you and for some reason it penetrates my brain. Thank you for sharing your gift of teaching with us!
Hi Lisa, Was happy to see this video still available😀! Haven’t made half square triangles in a long time🫢. I was trying to make them one at a time w/o accurate measurements😮! Thank you, Mary 🍀
Wow thank you! You made this look so easy! I’m taking a BOTM class and signed up 2 months late so I missed the previous class where they did the HST. Thank you for making this so much easier for me!
Thank you for sharing the HST.I was looking for how to make a 4.78 "HST using your method. The way I do this size now is cut a 5" square and then cut it to size. All suggestions accepted.
I just started quilting a month ago thru a group at church and I was able to follow this tutorial. Easy, straightforward, top notch tips AND the chart at the end is ** chef's kiss **. This isn't being taught in our class but I saw it in a quilting book and knew I had to include triangle squares in my project. Thanks so much for sharing this!! I appreciate you!
Triangles = panic, sweating, avoidance, thoughts of un-sewing-, biased edges aversion and projects left unfinished!!! I had a huge applique BOM quilt that I couldn't finish because of 23 light and 23 dark triangles!! The pattern, from a popular quilting design team was from 1999- (but I just recently discovered it) had a triangle template that said add seam allowance!! Would that let me stand in the way of not finishing this project, that I worked hard to hand applique over the last year?!? It sat unfinished way longer than it should have UNTIL I found this video. This is hands down the MOST PERFECT METHOD -- you can quote me and trademark it-- for making half square triangles! Thank you to infinity and back. This method is so perfect I may make an entire quilt using just triangles-- for an avid applique lover-- that IS turning to the dark side... lol. Love it!!
Thank you so much! I saw this on another site, but it was years ago. Thank you for giving such concise directions and even more for the fabulous chart at end!😃
You are too good in explaining, loved it . My request to you is , can you give the measurements chart for making 4 hst at a time , will be helpful. Thanks dear🤗🤗
I'm just getting started in quilting, and am looking for instructional videos. This was very, very helpful! I love the chart you gave. Thank you for sharing your talents here.
I am so glad I found this video - as the pattern I am using called for buying "recipe cards" for paper piecing the HSTs. I didn't feel that was necessary to purchase and that there had to be another way - and there IS. I need a little more practice as I don't have the precision quite down, any tips for that? Your videos have helped me so much. Thank you!
This method and your concise explication of it helped me enormously! I'm currently working on a wall hanging for Christmas and was falling behind but this evening I made 72 HSTs! Which is almost all I need. Thanks a lot!
Thank you! The project I am working on has 200 2.5 half square triangles. I will definitely practice this a couple of times and go for it. Sewing twenty five squares together will be much easier than 100 smaller ones. Now to find that info on sizes.
Lisa, I just love 💗 all the tips and tricks of sewing 🧵 quilting and creative things that You bring to Me on Your channel! Thank You so much 😊 Hugs and Smiles-Marie
It's now MY favourite way, too. Very helpful and precise. I'm going to cut out my solid fabrics to make Postcards from Sweden quilt. Many, many thanks for your lovely demo and size chart. You rock, sista! :)
Smart as! Loved it, very clear and loved that u gave measurements to different sizes... totally newbie here n going to make cushion pillowcase covers (old ones look very nasty after years of torture) Thanks again!
Thank you! This is very useful. And seeing how it's done you don't really need a chart if your willing to do a little math. 2x ( size of finished HST) +. 75 = (size of starting squares), Wow, now I can calculate to make any size HST. I have subscribed. ❤️😁
Wait wait wait, that scrap of fabric btwn bits of sewing to hang on to the thread... this blew my mind, I love it so much. Prob one of my biggest frustrations, solved. Bam.
Very helpful, thanks! Just about to start a Carpenter's Star quilt and was boggling over the maths!
Wow! I have been watching HST video for 20 min! Yours is the BEST!!!! I'm saving you, my Friend!
Thank you so much for the tutorial and *the graph* for measuring. Thank you!
That is exactly what I’m looking for now to start
Thank you for the graphic that gives the different sizes!! 😊
I watch 3 or 4 tutorials and it’s just a foreign language to me. I watch you and listen to you and for some reason it penetrates my brain. Thank you for sharing your gift of teaching with us!

Lisa, thank you, thank you so much!! I was trying to figure how to get a 2 1/2 hst for a project I was doing. You came to my rescue!!!😅❤
Thanks for using the terminology Half Square Triangles. I had no idea what an HST is because I’m new to quilting.
Thank you! This video truly helped. It's been several years since I have quilted triangles and this video helped my confidence!
THANK YOU! I am working on a custom quilt for my nephew and the middle section has 264 - 2.5" squares. This method IS PERFECT!!!!

Thank you. Didn't have pen and paper so will watch again to write down measurements.

Thanks. Working on a baby quilt
I not only enjoyed the tutorial but your method of keeping the thread from coming back at the needle is genius. Thank you.

Here's a video telling why I love using them
I sure wish you had made that size chart a downloadable pdf
Great tutorial Lisa. I was planning on making a few today. Thank you and stay safe from the virus. 💗😊💗
