Buy once, make all the HST's you'll ever need. Sew on the dash lines, cut on the solid lines of the X and then cut the final lines indicated by the scissors and you will have up to 8 half square triangles!
With our Easy Half Square Triangle Remarkable Tool you can make unlimited amounts of half square triangles! It fits perfectly over a 10”x10” layer cake precut square (or cut your own) but you can use it for any size block smaller than that. The easiest way to use this stencil is to match it to a center point on your cutting mat, with some painter’s tape, tape the stencil to the cutting mat on the left or right side (depending if your left or right handed). Then simply lift the stencil, place two squares with right sides together matching their center to the center mark on the cutting mat and pounce the markings to the top fabric. Sew on the dash lines, cut on the solid lines of the X and then cut the final lines indicated by the scissors and you will have 8 half square triangles!
Even the best traditions need an update. That’s why we’ve reinvented stencils for quilting. These unique stencils are transferred with a Quilt Pounce Pad™, and because the material is a nylon mesh open only on the design lines, the powder goes right through to the quilt top! There are no breaks or bridges to fill in, no mess, and it’s easy, fun, and effortless to transfer beautiful designs onto your quilt tops. With a few swipes of the Chalk-filled Quilt Pounce™, you’re ready to accent the beauty of your quilt by stitching over a crisp, crystal-clear motif, border, or continuous line. Full Line Stencils™ are the choice of quality and value. Perfect for beginners to the pros who thought they had everything.
Full Line Stencils™ require very little care. They are tough and can be transferred countless times. If they begin to get a little “dusty” from the chalk, use a damp cloth to clean them. A dry Microfiber towel also works well. If you’re using the Ultimate Pounce Powder, you can even iron them to clean them up! Be sure to clean them if switching chalk colors. You don’t want to heat set the blue when you’re ironing off the white.
What’s the best way to store Full Line Stencils? Store flat or roll. However, our standard size and smaller stencils slip into inexpensive sheet protectors and can be kept in a binder. Pants hangers work great, too; hang the hanger on a nail on the wall to keep them out of your way yet still within easy reach.
Full Line Stencils™ all work the same. There is no right or wrong side; you just position them, swipe the Pounce pad over the top, lift them off, and sew!
