We've compiled some of our most Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) and have created this page to address some of those questions.
 

How do I use my Wonder Cut Ruler with a pattern that calls for half-square triangles (HST's) when they use a measurement of 3/8 th's?
At last count, we knew of 17 different ways to make HST's.  One of which is to cut two squares, sew a diagonal seam down the middle, trim a 1/4" from seam allowance, and then press.  Usually with this method, the pattern will have a measurement including 3/8 th's or 7/8 th's.  When you use the Wonder Cut Ruler, subtract 3/8 th's and you will have the unfinished size of your HST.

How do I know what size to make my HST's?
Check your pattern/block and see if there is another square the same size as the HST.   That's the quickest and easiest way.
 

What if I don't want the outside edges of my HST's on the bias?
Cut your beginning strips on the bias.  The completed HST will not have the outside edges on the bias.
