A No-Waste Solution for Stitch-n-Flip Corners
| September 17, 2018 | Quilting How-To
Turn the Trimmings Into HSTs!
Do you end up with a lot of miscellaneous triangles in your scrap bag from make stitch-n-flip corners? While it’s great to have triangles on hand, it can be challenging to actually use them. And, many quilters avoid the stitch-n-flip technique entirely, not wanting to waste the triangles that are cut away.
Fortunately, there’s a solution. This trick will leave you with usable half-square triangles ready to include in a project. Just sew one more seam when making stitch-n-flip corners. Then trim the HSTs away.
This works well on all but the smallest stitch-n-flip corners. The larger they are the more usable the HSTs will be.
You’ll find complete instructions in an excellent article from Cluck Cluck Sew.
