This has been an interesting thread to read. I have learned that there are many different methods that can be used. I have been reading about Deb Tucker's ruler and Lazy girls Designs ruler and Eleanor Burns rulers and all their methods. Also I have a GO and am not having good luck doing it that way either. Probably more options are available too! I would like some advice from someone who is familiar with all of these and give their opinion on them. I don't want to buy them all and I am confused.
Thank you, Pat.

Would "the other way" be Eleanor Burns method? Sounds like it may be. I have done it many times, and have been happy with it. I do not have her special ruler, but don't have a problem without it.

Congratulations on mastering flying geese. I love those "ah ha" moments when everything clicks and falls into place.

I go for easy. I use the one seam flying geese method. I stitch the folded edges if they are bigger then 2 inches. I won viewer's choice last year at our local quilt show with just rows of flying geese in bright yellow and white. All were made using the one seam method.
