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!
