These blocks are even more beautiful when made in Christmas fabrics! I used my HST units to make two-color 3D pinwheels. – if you know the unfinished size of the HST you need (Y), you calculate the size of the initial squares (X).īefore cutting tons of squares, make a test first! – if you know the size of the initial square (X), you calculate the unfinished size of the HST unit (Y) then you square up the HST to the needed size. You can use the above formulas in two ways: Here is some math, so you will be able to work with squares in any size and create HSTs in any size. A little girl finds different shapes around the city including a square, rectangle, triangle, circle, oval, diamond, and star. If you prefer, you can press the units first and then square up them, with the regular square ruler. Place a ruler on the block keeping the 45-degree diagonal line over the diagonal seam. Press seam (both layers) toward the darker color. Open the half square triangle blocks outward. Cut down the marked line to make two new squares. The units have edges cut on bias, so you have to press the seams carefully. Stitch 1/4in on both sides of the marked line. Also, Circularise makes perfect squares and triangles too, which can be useful at times. It’s a very fast technique, especially if you have many units. Straightening Loop Segments Though the tool is called Circularise, many users have noted that Circularise is great for straightening and equalizing edge loop segments when used on open edge loops. Objects in mirror are closer than they appear, warns a little indication at the bottom of every American cars wing mirror. You align the line of the ruler with the SEAM of the unit and trim along the edges of the ruler.
It is called SQUARE UP ruler from Quilt in a Day. Wings 3D is an advanced subdivision modeler that is both powerful and easy to use (inspired by Nendo and Mirai from Izware). I don’t make often HSTs but when I do, the ruler below is amazing for squaring up- you do it in just one step. Press the seams and square up the units as needed. You can use squares in any size, I used charm squares (5″ squares).ġ. The Smooth operation in Wings produces different results on smooth and hard edges. It is called SQUARE UP ruler from Quilt in a Day.
I needed sets of 4 HSTs made from the same fabrics so I used the technique that makes 4 HSTs at once. Press the seams and square up the units as needed. You can make 2, 4 and even 8 units at once- obviously, for 8 units you need bigger squares than for 2 units.
Wings 3d squares to triangles how to#
Any quilter knows how to make half square triangles (HST), and there are several techniques that you can use, depending on the number of units you need and the size of initial squares you have on hand.
