I know this is an old post, but needed help with my HST's. Went to this site,

and is permanently shut down.

The normal rule is:
HST: add 7/8 to finished size block.
QST: add 1 1/4" then make 2 diagonal lines
Here's a site that makes making HST's easy peasy:

Here's a site is you need a different size you can enlarge or reduce with your printer:

Hope this helps out.
