    Check out the bloc-loc rulers. They are fantastic for keeping that point
    when trimming. They have an indent so your ruler stays put in the geese.
    You can watch the video on Youtube.

    I get the best results with the Easy Angle Ruler and Companion Angle ruler. I like them because I have to trim fewer dog ears and there is no fabric waste. I also don't have to mark anything.

    I use Eleanor Burns' FG rulers. There's very little waste/trimming.

    Here's my vote for the Eleanor Burns' ruler and method. As someone else said, there's very little waste (don't have those "bonus" triangles that some method's produce), and I find that her ruler keeps me from having "wonky wings".

    I have several sizes of the BlockLoc rulers and they are nice. I always grab the Folded Corner Clipper though. And I have Bonnie Hunter's new ruler. I still like the Folded Corner Clipper the best. And it's cheaper then the others too. I use to use Eleanor Burns ruler but someone borrowed it and I never replaced it. It was nice that there was no bonus waste at all. I need to get another one.

    I love using triangulations for flying geese that are connected. It was the only was I got them perfect.

    When I have a lot of small flying geese next to each other I paper piece as many as I can in one group.

    those are my go-to tools, also.
    i try to avoid tools that force me to take extra steps to make more cuts than necessary and to waste fabric i don't want to waste.
