    There are several ways to make FG. When I first moved down here there was actually a class on the different ways to make them. What was funny that none of us liked just one method.

    [1] use the Angler. with this method you make each FG separately using one large rectangle and 2 smaller squares at the corners. At the Pam Bono site there is a video tute on making serial FG. There is also a similar method but not using the Angler.

    [2] use the Eleanor Burns ruler method.

    [3] use the No Math ruler method.

    [4] use a paper pieced method - like sew & fold.

    [5] use the method pamsamkin referred to above - make 4 at once.

    The key is to find one method you like. Personally, I don't like the #2 or #3. I know I make good FG with #1 with or without the Angler, so that is what I stick with.

    Try each and see which you like the best. Though borrow the rulers if you can before you decide to buy.

    I use Triangulations software to paper piece all my flying geese with absolutely perfect points. I'd recommend it!

    I absolutely love this method, you make flying geese with one seam: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78Mu0C_QL8Y

    You can make a lot like magic.

    I agree about that one seam method, I think it is from Ricky Timms. It is fun and easy.
