I was wondering how long the adhesive last and if it would damage the surface of a Vintage Sewing Machine, such as remove the decals?

I bought one "guide" that after a few blocks didn't stay in place. Kind of leary now.

I know it sounds lame (and a lot of work) but it's the only way I can keep my square somewhat "square".

I have since purchased the June Tailor Half Square triangle ruler and think this should work just fine.

Have you tried (if you need more than one) to cut 2 bigger squares (there is a calculation for this), put right sides together, draw a diagonal line on back side of one (corner to corner) then sewing 1/4" on each side of diagonal line. Cut down the drawn line and bingo - 2 triangle squares! I know there are links for this method - anybody have one?

here's a good video:

Thank you Kitsie! I'll have to give that a try. :)
