I would suggest a different color pen for vertical and horizontal lines as a reminder not to sew on them.
Love this idea❤
I'll be trying your method. Thank you. 🌹
Where are your math instructions for this tutorial?;
Thanks very smart
Great technique! I appreciate the caution not to sew on the horizontal and vertical lines. I think if I try this method I will draw those lines in a different color to help me remember. I need all the help I can get!
That’s a good idea! I always have to remind myself!
I was thinking a dotted line but a different color would be so much more convenient!
ME TOO!
So it’s like each quadrant is the magic 8 HST method but sewn 4 at a time. I love it!
Just finished watching & I agree about using different colour marker - good suggestion
THANK YOU !!!! Straight to the point. No bs just teaching. I so appreciate that I didn’t have to watch a tutorial for An hour when it could just to the point. Your time is very precious too so thank you for taking time out of your own day to teach us a very helpful step !!
Thank you so much!! Glad to have you here!!
Great tutorial!! So easy broken down. Thank you!!
Yes, no BS. Good for her.
Agreed!!!
Sometimes someone needs additional instructions. You can always speed up the You Tube tutorial but they have no options when rhe additional instructions are left out. Everyone learns at a different pace and amount of instructions.
What a wonderful tutorial. I am 85 and still learning.
Never finished learning! Thanks for being here!
Love this! I’m 62 and beginning quilting. It’s so calming and love learning new techniques!
Loved the tutorial. Retired and on fixed income. Greatly appreciate that it is free.
Suggestion:
Use different color inks for sewing lines versus cutting lines.
I love your directions. To the point, quick and understandable. Thank you for being so concise on your speaking
Excellent tutorial❣️ When I want to learn a new technique, I want the instructions concise and to the point…no chatty, gimmicky fillers. Yours was just that, and I have just subscribed to your full content and given you a “thumbs up”. I am planning on adding this technique to my technique of the month class, thank you for a great video to follow. From one quilt instructor to another…BIG kudos❣️
Thank you so much! That makes me so happy to hear because that is my goal and why I’m here! Glad to have you here too!
Good job!
I agree “no chatty fillers” 😂
😮😮😮😅😅😅😊😅

Thanks for doing such a well-presented technique of a patch that so often overwhelms people. You are one of the best "teachers" on UA-cam!
You are so sweet Linda, thank you, that made my day!!! I'm glad I can help!
You’re voice is soothing and you speak so well. No, ya knows, no um’s. Your instructions are concise and easy to understand. Thank you for providing this information.
Thank you so much! I have to bite my tongue ALOT! Thanks for watching!
You are a very clear speaker. I enjoyed it very much. You speak at just the right speed. I will be subscribing. Thanks.
Great to hear!! Thanks for watching!!
I ❤ this method, it saves sooo much time!
I have found it easier to draw the cutting lines in RED so they stand out to me as a "DO NOT SEW" Line. This keeps me from getting confused whilst I quickly sew the sections, or quadrants together. Ty for this great tip! 😊👍
Yes it’s a great tip!!!

This is an old technique we used to teach at my quilt shop over 25 years ago. It's called the grid method. Nothing new but a great tutorial nonetheless. Nice job.
Nope nothing new but so many people don’t know different methods unless they are shown🤩
@Sugar Stitches Quilt Co. Good thinking! Thanks. I love that you used a simple method to do this. New quilters will start off understanding the geometry instead of templates and rulers. I say this bc I had an awful time concentrating on those instead of the actual shape of the fabric piece itself.
@@sunshineandwarmthexactly! I'm one 😊
You are an outstanding teacher-clear instructions, emphasizing crucial information and a beautiful voice. Thank you so much. 👏🏼☺️ 🧵
Thank you so much! And thanks for watching!
This was an amazing revelation! I was cutting them individually...can you imagine the time it took me to do that? Well, thanks to your method, just learned, I will be doing that from now on. Thank you.
So glad to hear!!
Liked your teaching style. Very clear and a great technique to making 4 patches easily.
Oh my goodness! I found your tutorial just in time! I am wanting to make a PATRIOTIC table runner with half-square triangles! Perfect timing! 💖
That’s awesome!!!
I’m definitely going to try this. I have a quilt in mind that will only use two fabrics, and I want to play with half square triangles to see what I like with all the placement options. Love this!!!
That’s awesome! Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
I would love to see your results
Wow! I’m about to start a quilt where I need over 600 HST, this is great! Thank you!
Oh my goodness Sandy, that's alot! Hopefully this tutorial helps you get through them faster! Thanks for watching!
What pattern are you using?
@@nicolettehare3322 im watching carol Thelma on UA-cam and during January she had a really cute half square triangle quilt along. I’m behind but they were awesome blocks so I’ve started working on the HSTs.
@@slug500 that’s cool. I’ll check it out
@@nicolettehare3322 she has some really cute blocks in it that I’ve used in another quilt I’m finishing right now. She’s also doing a block a day which I love.
One thing. When you've cut the big square down to the 4 squares and started using rotating mat cut your perpendicular and horizontal lines (middles), you should then rotate mat again, without lifting up material or shifting material, then cut the diagonal seams. Saves a ton of time.
Yes!!
Using scissors to cut the final pairs in half is also faster than using a ruler and rotary cutter. Good tutorial!
Sounds even better, To me. So far, most of my HST are scrappy.
I'm "collecting" different techniques to make at least 6 quilts for grandkids. HST'S were at the top of the list. Thank you for your tutorial. Def on the list to use!
That’s great!! You are going to be a busy bee!! Good luck!
Great tutorial thank you…clear and concise and patiently explained!I am a beginner quilter and your tutorials are super helpful😊
I really enjoyed your tutorial! You explain things clearly and precisely and I will use this on my next HST project. Thank you!!❤
That’s so great to hear, thanks Linda!
A well organized lesson with great technique. And I bet all the points will match when I piece my quilt.
I need 76 of these for a quilt. I can’t believe how much quicker this is. Thank you.
Hahaha MATH! You read my mind! Love the bulk idea! SUBSCRIBED!
Wow, this was so simple and awesome! Im going to save this video to help me start my quilt journey 😊
Thank you for this tutorial. I would love to see more quilting hacks. Also, thank you for the pdf chart to help figure out what size I need to start with. Have a blessed day.
You are so welcome! Thanks for being here!!
This is really cool. It makes quilting so much more accessible to me. My sister is challenging me to make a baby sized quilt as a way to get us quilting. This is a game changer! Thanks!
Glad to hear!! Take that challenge from your sister and make that quilt! Good luck!
I loved this method. As you were demonstrating I was wondering how big the fabric needed to be to make the size 1/2 sq needed. Thank you for the chart also. As for your instructions…..you are very easy to listen to and understand. Your calm demeanor and clear demonstration makes this method very easy to understand and I am wanting to give it a try, regardless of not having a project…..haha
Glad you enjoyed it!! You can make a pillow with a few blocks or make a lot for a quilt!
Perfect timing. I was wanting a border of HST for a bear claw. I’ve been putting it off just because I need so many HST. I’m on my way to a finished quilt top! Thank you 🙏
Great hack done by a wonderful teacher. Clear, concise and to the point. Well done.
This is one of the best tutorials I have seen and I have watched a lot of quilting tutorials! 😆 Thank you so much!
You are so welcome! Thank you so much!!!
This was an excellent tutorial! Thank you. Just proves that you can learn something new everyday!
Absolutely! Thanks for watching!!
Thank you so much. Half square triangles are gorgeous, but they do require a lot of work. However, you made it so easy. Again, thank you 😊
Thank you!! They are certainly time consuming sometimes when you need alot! I think I dread trimming the worst!
Love this. I have no peripheral vision on right side of either eye. This is perfect for me I just hope I can remember the size of beginning fabric. This is actually brilliant.
This was a great tutorial. Thank you do much for sharing this time saver.😊
Omg, I love this method. Was just shying away from a quilt pattern because of the number of HST I would have to cut. New subscriber here and recommending you to my quilter friends. Binge watching all your videos. TFS and your measurements guide.
That’s great to hear!! They sure deter me sometimes too when there’s a ton of them! Methods like these sure help! Glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant tutorial ❤ I love this quick simple technique. I plan on using this to make a stash of half square triangles to have on hand in LOTS of various sizes! I have some many FQB and not knowing what quilt pattern to use at times! This is perfect to use up some of those bundles. Thank you for sharing this brilliant technique. Can’t wait to see what you share with us next ❤️🪡🧵
Sounds great! Thanks for watching!
Wonderful! I can’t wait to watch all your other videos!
Thanks Sheila!
Great way to cut HST. Very nice of you to give this guide free!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much. I really appreciated your tutorial. That made it so easy for me to do without feeling so afraid i would mess it up. Thank you
Love this idea, I usually use yardage anyway and cutting big squares is so much easier!
Yes! Thank you!
Great tutorial. Easily explained and right to the point. Great job.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
What a great innovative way to get a lot of half triangles cut w so little time. The effort comes in being precise & remembering not to sew horizontally & vertically at first..Thanks
Look forward to more tidbits of helpful info.
Several people have made the suggestion to mark those “No sew” lines in a different color, great idea!
I loved this!!! Think smarter, not work harder! I love learning from other quilters!!!!
LOVE this!! So easy and such a great tutorial. THANK YOU!!!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
I love this! Thanks for sharing! :) I am NOT a fan of half-square triangles AT ALL, but this would make me want to make a quilt with them, so I'm going to try it!
Try it out!! I didn’t used to like them but they have grown on me!
Wow, you were great in this! Love your modulated voice. Too many video hosts throw their info out in speedy slurred or high pitched voices with no ennunciation. Loved this! Thanks for being you.
Thank you so much!!!
I like the way you drew the lines on the fabric and then sewing 1/4" thru the two layers of fabric and much easier to cut out the triangles.
Best time saver!!
Great tutorial!
Thank you! It’s so fun!!!
@@sugarstitchesquiltco .. new subscriber here, and I look forward to watching more of your content. Your preparation and your presentation were spot on!
@@ingfig1 So happy to hear that and glad to have you here!
This is a great tutorial, and I found it at the right time as I’m getting ready to make quite a few half square triangles. Thank you 💜
That’s awesome! Thanks for watching!
Just found your channel, love the clear and concise instructions..looking forward to more videos. 💕
Thank you so much, glad to have you here!!
@@sugarstitchesquiltco thank you!
You have a pleasant speaking voice and I could listen to you all day !! I like the way you explain things too!❤❤ Yes , I love this and hope to use this method in my sewing projects.😊
Aww thank you!!! You’d get bored because I talk a lot! 🤣 thanks for watching!
Awesome! I just saw a quilt tutorial this morning that required a huge number of half square triangles... will definitely use this technique!😀
That’s awesome! Perfect timing!!
Great tutorial, very clear instructions. I have just subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to more tutorials. Thank you so much
Awesome, thank you!
Great method! Thanks for sharing! I make a lot of baby quilts to give away, this would be a faster way to get more done. I’ve been thinking of making a 2 color quilt 😊
That's a great idea! And that’s wonderful of you and your donations! Good luck, I hope this makes things quicker for you!
Excellent tutorial! What a great method!
THIS WAS VERY INTERESTING AND VERY HELPFUL TOO.
Great job explaining clearly and well modulated voice in a slow enough tempo so my old ears c young an keep up with your hands. Thank you so very much ❤️👵🏻✝️🙏🏻
I’m so glad to hear that!! Thanks for watching!!
As a beginner quilter, this has made me more comfortable with making half triangles. Thanks.
I have to tell you, I had put off finishing quilts for my grandbabies forever because I loathed making the triangle cuts! This has just renewed my inspiration to get back to it! Thank you for posting this video! ❤
Thank you for another wonderful, educational, encouraging tutorial. I love your pleasant voice and minimal hand movement (can do without music but a catchy tune). I especially appreciate the guide you've afforded your viewers. You're a blessing and I appreciate you very much. Look forward to more of your tutorials.
Smart! I difinetly will be using this method. Very clever!
I'll be making a little quilt out of 12 fat quarters that have been sitting for months.
Sounds good!! Good luck!
Thank you. I could have used this last month when my pattern called for 96 HST using the same fabrics. I'm definitely checking out your blog to calculate sizes.😊
Oh goodness!! Well that was your practice 😄 glad you found me!
Great tutorial on HSTs! Thank you
Yes love thus method. I bought fabric today to make a Christmas pinwheel quilt, can't wait to get started.
I bet that will be pretty! Have fun!
I can’t thank you enough for the terrific chart!!! I’m making a pattern that has a double whammy: complicated blocks AND the instructions are in “old timey” terms like “2 7/8 squares cut in half.” Omigosh. So each block I’ve kind of redesigned so it’s manageable. And I needed 32 HST’s, 16 in one combination, 16 in another. I remembered that I had downloaded your guide so I can make these FAST , ACCURATELY, and EASILY!!! I’m just so pleased!! THANK YOU for all the pre-planning and arithmetic!! My squares are cut out and I’m ready to roll. Again, I can’t say it enough: Thank you!!!
OMG! This is magic. Thank you. This is so helpful. This is one video worth saving and sending to other quilt friends.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!!
Thank you so much for making this task so easy. Thank you for the printable guide.
Absolutely like this method of making half square triangles.

😱 again, awesomeness! I love these techniques! Thank you, again!
Very nicely done. Easy to understand.
Glad it was helpful!
I loved it. It makes quilting a lot easier. I would love to see more sizes using this method. Such as if I were to sew around all the squares and then cut on the diagonal lines.
I have the math on my blog www.sugarstitchesquiltco.com/blog/how-to-make-32-at-a-time-half-square-triangles, enjoy!
I found your video excellent. So easy. Came out perfectly. And thank you for the free guide you emailed me!
Glad it was helpful!
I am new to this quilting thing so this was very helpful for future projects.
your intro is so cute!! Ready, set, sew! How fun!!
I sure am glad you added the dimensions for other size 1/2 square triangles. A fabulous bonus
You’re so welcome!!
Oh mu goodness I could have done with this video coming up in my feed last week. I have just completed a free Moda pattern by Corey Yoder using charm squares and 2 fabrics which then make half square triangles around each square. Thank you for a very clear explanation and demo.
You are so welcome!!
Excellent idea. I will definetly be cutting my HSTs with this method. Thank you for your video.
Again, the best HST hack video I’ve seen!!
