NEW! Red Elegance Quilt Pattern: Half-Square Triangle Block Sewing Tutoiral
Prepare your fabrics! Pre-shrink fabrics by steaming and pressing, and steaming and pressing a second time. Then, stabilize fabrics for the sewing process by pressing and starching fabrics with June Tailor’s Starch Savvy. Press and starch, press and starch.
- Follow the 1/2-square triangle blocks: Marked on Ruler in Purple
- Cut crosswise strips of two fabrics the “cut” measurement printed on Ruler. (Example: For a 4-1/2” block, cut 4-7/8” crosswise strips.)
- Stack and align fabric strips, right side together with lightest fabric on top. Subcut into squares, using the same “square cut” measurement on the ruler. (Example: For a 4-1/2” block, cut 4-7/8” squares.)
Use Clover’s No-Hassle Triangles Gauge to accurately and quickly mark blocks. Depress button to slide and align No-Hassle Triangles Gauge with the “cut” measurement of the 1/2-square triangle block size. (Example: For a 4-1/2” block, set gauge at 4-1/2” Half-Square Block squares.)
- Set sewing machine for a straight stitch (2.0-2.5 mm). Attach a 1/4″ quilting presser foot. Straight stitch, guiding right side of foot along marked line. Note: Stitching line will be scant 1/4″ away from marked line.
- After stitching along one side of marked line of all square sets, rotate chained blocks and stitch along the other side of the marked line. Note: Stitching line will be scant 1/4² away from marked line.
At end of block, place next block on bed of sewing machine. Stitch continuously from one block to the next – “chainstitching” blocks continuously.
- Clip threads between blocks. Cut blocks apart along diagonal marked line, using rotary cutter, ruler, and mat.
- Press seam allowance flat to set seam, then press seam allowance toward dark fabric.
Each square set will make two 1/2-square triangle blocks!
Follow the step-by-step directions – included in the pattern – for assembling our NEW! Red Elegance Wall Hanging or Double/Queen Quilt!

Sharon
Sounds good.

I have the no hassle triangle ruler, but have not used it yet. will use it now.
Karen Stenback
I would love to try this ruler. And the reds of the fabric are beautiful!
CARLA
I love the color of the short stack fabrics that you are giving away, that and purple are my favorite colors. I would like to know if you are going to have a video on how to use the NEW! No-Hassle Triangles Ruler as it is pricey and just looking at the description in your website doesn’t help me much as I am really better at watching and learning that way. This is a pricey ruler but I’m sure it is worth every penny once you learn how it works. Is there a video on it and I missed it in one of the emails?

I’m with some of the others – I have the no hassle triangle ruler, but I really need to see it used in a youtube tutorial. Would that be possible to have someone make the video all the way to sewing the pieces together. Thank you.
