Thank you for the Accuquilt advice

A few weeks ago, I posted a thread about my Accuquilt. I mentioned that I'd used it once and then put it on a shelf in the basement for 5-6 years. I asked your advice about Accuquilts really having value and also asked if you use the strip dies.
You all responded that Accuquilts are great and that strip dies are wonderful.
I listened to your advice and hauled out my Accuquilt and purchased the 2 inch and 2.5 inch strip dies.
You were so so right!! The strip dies are wonderful and fabulous and I am in love! I have cut so many strips! I feel like I'm putting my stash to much better use now. It's kind of revitalized my quilting and given me a burst of excitement to piece new patterns.
Thank you so much for your advice!
Since your were so spot-on in the information you provided, do you have any other pieces of wisdom to give me about anything at all in the whole world? :-)

So glad you decided to try it again. I read your original post and wondered about it because I love my Accuquilt! I only cut strips and squares right now but the quilts go together so much better than when I cut with a ruler and rotary cutter. And, I save time!

I second the Half Square Triangle dies . . .by far my most used and versatile dies are strip dies, but when a pattern calls for HSTs I find myself either ordering the multi-die for the size needed, or filing the pattern in my future quilts box.

I think I'm still a little unclear about which HST dies I need.
If I usually cut squares 4 7/8 inches and then draw the line and stitch on both sides----which die do I need to get the correct size HST?
If I usually cut squares 3 7/8 to make HST in the same way, which die do I need?
