Silly question ... but how do you sew that quarter inch from the line in the middle of the fabric?

You can use Grippy and your ruler won’t slip! ❤

Does cutting 9inch to cut 8 HST does that make a 12inch block? Help I'm stuck..

I found your video on the half triangle very helpful. I liked your marking pen. Can you tell me what pen you use for drawing your lines

This is wonderful information! Thank you so much for sharing. Can I ask what kind of sewing machine do you have?

Hey Emily, I watched your video on my HusqvarnaViking channel. I also have a HV machine. Great video for half square triangles. I noticed the quarter inch tape you had on your machine. I looked on your Amazon account but wasn't quite sure what it was called. Could you tell me more about it? Thanks

Hi Emily. I just followed your method and I’m finding that there is a lot of waste for a 3.5” hst. I was wondering if the block can be 8.5” instead of 9”?
