Half Square triangles -The easy way.

So I got the Thangles home and sat down at **MY** machine, in MY sewing room.. Ahhh....there is no place like home.



Sewn Thangles

I chain pieced four strips of thangles. Each strip makes 6 HST's so that is 24 at one go. The first picture is the sewn strips prior to cutting.



Next you cut them apart and clip the corners. (I confess I messed up a couple, but they are still usable)

Then you have a lovely pile of triangles.




Which you take to the Iron and press open. Then you pull the paper off. The paper comes off pretty easily.




Finally you have a nice stack - or in my case, a scattered pile- of Half Square Triangles. Wow, that was easy!
