Thanks Ronda. I think it is great that you will share, it is so much easier for me to understand your tutorials than to read it out of the book. I guess I an pretty simple minded. I am a true hands on person. Thanks again,you give me such an incentive to us up my scrapes and make something that looks good. Hugs to you. Pat

Thanks, Jan
Thanks, Jan
If you are wanting the size for the strips for cutting out HSTS then here is how to figure it:
Set your template on point. Measure from the center of the template to one point (right to left) then add at least 1/2" for 2 seam allowances.
So for a 2 1/2" template you will need strips that are 2 1/2" wide. But other sizes of templates will vary. The best way if you want to figure it is to measure.
I just lay the template on the fabric and see how wide I need to cut so it isn't too small and then I just cut it roughly the right size. But I am not too particular about saving every little bit of leftovers. I am more paranoid about it being too small and having to start over. So I go bigger to make sure I have enough.
Hope this helps. If you need help figuring what you need then send me the size template you are using and I will give you the size and numbers you need to cut.
