I like how you are already prepared and we don’t have to watch a lot of sewing

[@CorianderQuilts]

It makes it faster to film on our end as well. =)

[@valerieroling8035]

Okay Corey, you totally surprised me with that trimming tool. How smooth and accurate. I can see how valuable it is, especially with trimming up even smaller units. THANK YOU for showing how....you're the best.

[@CorianderQuilts]

I love that ruler!...I use it whenever I can. =)

[@paulinegray7694]

Thank you for being prepared ahead of time of having blocks ready to show, this save us from having to watch you sew. Thank you for the tip with your favorite ruler, I will try and find one. I really like your tutorials.

[@CorianderQuilts]

You are so welcome!...thank you!

[@maryjeanchapple6582]

Once again, this is FANTASTIC! Thank you!

[@CorianderQuilts]

Thank you!...you're so welcome!

[@tammybidwell6303]

Your tutorials are so easy to understand and you take your time with the explanations. You are a great instructor! Thank you!

[@CorianderQuilts]

I appreciate you saying that...thank you!

[@susanfinn7653]

I have never seen that tool, what an asset to have in your arsenal of tools! Thank you once again for an excellent tutorial!

[@CorianderQuilts]

You're so welcome Susan!...I use this ruler so often!

[@lisastreasures]

That ruler makes it look so fun. ❤

[@CorianderQuilts]

The ruler streamlines things quite a bit!

[@melissawriglesworth7123]

This is how I make quarter square triangles also but always guessed one the measurements. Now I know how. Thanks for sharing.

[@CorianderQuilts]

You are so welcome!

[@rhondabowles6714]

I received this ruler for Christmas while in the middle of another project. I put away until I had time to really look at it and figure it out and now after watching the video, I’m excited! The video is very informative and right to the point, thank you!❤

[@CorianderQuilts]

You are so welcome!....I hope you love it as much as I do...it is one of my favorite rulers.

[@bettyfoley5002]

Thanks! Easy easy way. Love it!

[@CorianderQuilts]

You're welcome!...I really like this method. =)

[@JenniferGreene321]

Ugh!! Why couldn’t I have seen this sooner?! Halfway done watching and my jaw dropped, LOL. I made an hourglass block using a different method today and when I tell you my points look janky! Def using this method next time, way faster and easier. I’m just gonna subscribe because if these are the gems you are dropping 🎉

[@CorianderQuilts]

I'm so glad you found it helpful!...now you'll have it for next time. =)

[@cherieseward9868]

Thank you so so much I made a quilt block that looked terrible now I know how to make a new one that I will like ❤❤❤

[@CorianderQuilts]

You're so welcome!

[@martirichards1424]

I watch a lot of quilting tutorials and have never seen that trimming tool or heard mention of it. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. I love your videos. You can tell you love what you do. You are a great teacher!

[@CorianderQuilts]

Thanks so much Marti!...I do really enjoy chatting and sharing about all things quilty. =)

[@deborahmeares1048]

I don't remember where I came across it, but a while back. I saw a version of a quarter square triangle that involved taking 2 squares that are the size that the unfinished square needs to be, for example, 2.5 Inches sewing up 2 opposite sides, Cutting the square in half diagonally from corner to corner usually from the bottom right to the top left, opening them flipping them over and sewing them back together again.

[@CorianderQuilts]

Now, if I understand the way you are describing, that is a method I haven't seen before!

[@cynthiadana2424]

New quilter here , love this tutorial as I have been working on this block and now understand why it’s not always correct. Thank you !!

[@CorianderQuilts]

I'm glad you found it helpful!

[@tinakay7933]

Thanks so much for this tutorial! I trimmed HST’s this week. Had some done using another method, then did the rest with this ruler ( which I had bought at some point but must have forgotten how to use!). The increased accuracy in my units using HSTs trimmed with this ruler is very clear. A game changer for me, actually. Thanks again!

[@CorianderQuilts]

I'm so glad that helped!...I know that I use that ruler whenever I can!

[@debbieloes5903]

Thank you for this tutorial…your teaching skills are excellent! These ‘how to’ videos help both new quilters… and old quilters like me! I can always, always learn some new little tip or trick!

[@CorianderQuilts]

You're so welcome Debbie!...thank you so much for your kind comment. =)

[@glennaeastwood9167]

Great tutorial! I wish i had seen this about a week ago…just finished making 144 quarter square triangles for a quilt and sure wish I had used your method!

[@CorianderQuilts]

That's a lot of QSTs! =)

[@siobhanstitches]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I’ve been quilting for almost 30 years and still struggle with quarter square triangles. This is my new go to tutorial.

[@CorianderQuilts]

You are so welcome! It's always so nice to have a technique that works for us!

[@akbunny5221]

Excellent tutorial. Thank you...!

[@CorianderQuilts]

You're so welcome!

[@lynnscroggins7104]

Thank you! I love making them this way but am never sure how much larger I need to cut my squares. Great info!

[@CorianderQuilts]

You're welcome!...for half square triangles it's an inch bigger than the finished size and quarter square triangles 1.5" bigger than the finished size. You can go bigger than that if you want to, you would just end up trimming more off.

[@gwenadams8764]

I’ll have to try it out

[@pollymoore918]

This is how I make this unit. I love the squaring tool you are showing. Looks like I need to let the quilt fairy know what I would like as a surprise on National Quilting Day. 🎉😊 Thanks Corey!

[@CorianderQuilts]

I sure use this ruler a lot!...I think it was the first specialty ruler I purchased and I've used it so much!

[@maryjeanchapple6582]

Thank you so much for this excellent presentation! I am making great use of the June Tailor trimming ruler along with your great tips!

[@CorianderQuilts]

Isn't it a great ruler!

[@angelakaymcglasson]

Thank you for this great tutorial on the “hourglass” I’m going right now to purchase that ruler! I love any tool that will help with making blocks more easily for newbie like me.

[@CorianderQuilts]

You're so welcome!...That ruler has really helped me with my trimming. It was one of the first specialty rulers I bought many years ago and it has gotten its use.

[@maryb1111]

You are such a wonderful teacher. You explain everything in detail and so clearly! I am thinking I could use my stripology rulers the same way you use the June Taylor trimmer. Thank you Corey. Btw, am still missing the surprise appearances from Mr Tiggs! 😁

[@CorianderQuilts]

Thank you so much Mary! Tiggs makes an appearance in tomorrow's video. =) I really enjoy how much people like to see him pop in. =)

[@leahgreenwalt1219]

Thank you for showing that ruler! I need it in my life for sure! It looks like it would keep the block from moving around and that in itself is always helpful!🤩❤️

[@CorianderQuilts]

I know that I really like it!

[@lindafriend3726]

Love that June Tailor ruler. Have added to my wish list. Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks with us. Your videos always make my day!

[@CorianderQuilts]

I've used my so often!...it's a favorite ruler of mine. =)

[@cherylmarch9293]

Wow, Corey, I really like that ruler for cutting those quarter square triangles. Thank you for demonstrating this technique! 😊

[@CorianderQuilts]

You are so welcome!

[@AvivaHadas]

I have finally made friends with the 4 single triangles method. I'm happier with my precision in cutting & sewing when I make them one triangle at a time. (Especially when I am fussy cutting!)

[@CorianderQuilts]

I know there are others that also prefer cutting the 4 triangles instead of 2 squares. I say whatever works best for you is the way to go!

[@janemeyer794]

I just love love LOVE your videos. Swear we'd be kitchen table friends if I lived nearby.

[@CorianderQuilts]

We would have so much fun! =)

[@ritapuder4467]

. I don’t like making these blocks because I can’t seem to trim accurately but now I know what I need. Thank you!

[@CorianderQuilts]

It's not as much fun when the blocks don't quite turn out like we'd like them to! Getting our favorite techniques/tools nailed down makes such a difference.

[@marcyhenri1177]

I saw you use the Omnigrid marking ruler in an earlier video & I just found a set of 3 over the weekend! Looking forward to trying them out.

[@CorianderQuilts]

I do like using them...the one thing I wish they had is a little bit more grip. There are little grippy dots I could add if I wanted to. But they are nice for marking those lines!

[@marcyhenri1177]

Thanks for that insight. I have some grippy dots that I can use

[@quiltychick]

A quilting friend told me about the June Tailor HS/QS triangle ruler quite a few years ago. I too love it and use it to square up my blocks whenever possible. ❤

[@CorianderQuilts]

It's been a favorite of mine for many years as well. =)

[@nnickerson7636]

Thanks Cory

[@CorianderQuilts]

You're welcome!

[@heirloominthemaking564]

Hi Corey, the 2-square method is also my favorite way and I like to nest the seams (press to one side for the first HSTs and then butt them up against each other for the second HST stitching). I never understand cutting a square into 4 triangles (on the bias) and THEN sewing them once they are unstable instead of sewing first (while they are stabilized by the square shape) and then cutting. I also find this much easier when I want 3 colors on my QST. I can figure out what to cut (1 of each color, 2 of background) without losing track of which triangle goes where to assemble it correctly. The only thing I do differently is at the end, I like to "twirl" the centers, like one might do with a pinwheel block. This makes it flatter in the center than it might be with nested seams bulking up in the middle. Twirling the centers (works on any 4-patch) is something I only learned about a few years ago when I first learned how to use the 2-square method for QSTs. Although I already know how to do it, this might also be a great tutorial video for you to make since your instructions are always so clear :) Thanks for endorsing my favorite QST method!

[@CorianderQuilts]

I had my seams twirled on my QST and completely forgot to show and mention it! It's such a nice way to press those seams. I did share a tutorial on twirling seams in my Moda Block Heads layout pressing video. That layout has so many QST's and it makes such a difference to have a great press.

[@sherryfaba1187]

Just what I needed. Thanks for your easy to understand instruction. That is a talent in itself.

[@CorianderQuilts]

I'm glad you found it helpful!

I’m so glad you posted this video! I think quarter square triangles can be tricky. 😊

[@CorianderQuilts]

I think they can be until you have a good method you like to use.

[@kimwood5239]

This is a wonderful way to make the hourglass block. Thank you

[@CorianderQuilts]

You are so welcome!

You always amaze me. Thanks for having such an upbeat personality. ❤

[@CorianderQuilts]

I do enjoy chatting about quilts and fabrics and quilty things. =)

[@TheHawkeyeQuilter]

Love your fabrics! My favorite rulers are the Studio 180; very helpful to have the 2 intersecting diagonal lines to line up the center point and the diagonal seams at the same time when doing blocks like these.

[@CorianderQuilts]

I agree!...having the two diagonals marked makes trimming so nice!

[@quiltingbydavid6495]

We have this. I had no idea it did all this ruler. Thanks. But It does look pretty on hanging on my peg board.

[@CorianderQuilts]

Ha!...maybe now you are going to need to use it! =)

[@CorianderQuilts]

Thank you! You too!

[@teri2941]

Thank you for the tutorial. This block always gave me problems and I have avoided it on occasion. I am going to practice your method now, even without the tool. I have learned so much from you in such a short period of time.

[@CorianderQuilts]

I'm so glad you've found some of the tutorials helpful!...thank you. =)

[@michellefrothingham4275]

Great tutorial… i use the first 2 tools that U demoed along with rotating mat; then square ruler. Never knew of that particular tool from June T. but i do have her 1/2” to 1” strip ruler along with some of her pressing tools… masterful creator😉👍

[@CorianderQuilts]

It's so nice when we find those tools that work well for us!

[@cmichell]

I love the efficiency and quality of the square using your technique and the ruler. I have been making these squares by cutting all the fabric and then sewing together again. I get pretty good results, but it's more work and trimming with a ruler one side at a time is not the best. I really appreciate this video so much. Thank you!

[@CorianderQuilts]

You're so welcome!...if you have a technique you use that gets you good results, that's what is important!

[@scienceknitster]

Hi Corey! The two squares method is my favorite way to make an hourglass block! My first quilt ca. 20 years ago was a baby quilt with alternating hourglass and nine-patch blocks. I was taught a version of the method you showed but used a regular quilting ruler to draw a center diagonal line and sewed a 1/4” away on both sides. Later I got a tool similar to the one you showed in the video. About 5-6 years ago, I got a plastic sheet tool that goes on my machine with lines that helps me keep the point of the square lined up to sew the diagonal lines. Also, I was taught to add 1-1/4” to get the size of the square…we only trimmed off the “ears.” However, I’ve noticed that most tutorials include making the block slightly larger and trimming it down. The June Tailor looked interesting! I’m going to look into it. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@CorianderQuilts]

There are so many different ways to make these units. I think I've used/done everything you mentioned in your comment at one point or another!

[@lisegagne3716]

Great video I will put this ruler in my wish list. For now what I use is a square ruler and I use glow tape on it to make a second diagonal line. I also spin the seams at the back to allow them to lay flatter ❤

[@CorianderQuilts]

Thanks so much!...that's a great tip to make that second diagonal line on a standard ruler. =)

[@lisegagne3716]

@@CorianderQuilts I put the slotted ruler in my husbands Amazon cart 😜

Hadn’t seen that tool and I will most definitely be ordering one.

[@CorianderQuilts]

I love it!

[@arlenenickerson1644]

I need that tool. I didn’t know there was such a thing. I usually look for my square rulers and have used those for trimming and squaring up but I think the tool in this video is a must go out and buy. Thanks for such a helpful tutorial.

[@CorianderQuilts]

It's a ruler that I use a lot!

[@zorina831]

My favorite tool is the tucker trimmer by studio 180 design. It’s awesome for trimming any block

[@CorianderQuilts]

It's so nice to have a ruler we love!

[@amandaaskew7606]

This is also my favorite way to piece quarter square triangles! Idk why, but sewing individual triangles together seems very daunting.

[@CorianderQuilts]

I agree Amanda!...I've seen others use the individual triangles and they love piecing them that way. But, I really like this 2 square method.

Wow this is a great tip and neat way to trim love the pre cutting you do to save time thanks.

That was the first ruler I bought as a newbie quilter - and I have never used it! 😅 I am going to use it now! Great tutorial and this is going to be my favorite specialty ruler from now on. I have used all the other squaring tools and this is hands down the easiest. Thank you.

[@CorianderQuilts]

I hope you enjoy using it!...I use mine so often!

[@susankurzsebesta3169]

Using that ruler is slick! I use a square ruler and sometimes end up with a less than perfect block.

[@CorianderQuilts]

When I need to trim to a size not on this ruler and need to use a different one, I always find it a little bit harder to be as accurate.

[@sherrimilkie8834]

Thank you! Just wonderful! ❤

[@CorianderQuilts]

You are so welcome!

[@pamcrouse5757]

I just finished a top (Exploding Hearts, by Slice of Pi) that I love. But when stitching these blocks together, I found I had a huge amount of bulk in the seams. I would love to see you take this the next step and talk about how to reduce that bulk.

[@CorianderQuilts]

Yes!...that was the ironing tip that I said I was going to mention and then completely forgot about. You can "spin" your seams. If you google that term you'll see what that is. I also demo'd this technique in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKfKlY2Ad9mAqbM

[@pamcrouse5757]

That video was exactly what I needed to learn. Thank you!

[@lorettahenderson8979]

Thanks Corey for a simplified way to construct and trim this block❤❤❤

[@jenniferdavis5482]

I love that tool. I might have to try it! I trim HST with the block lock or the clearly perfect slotted trimmer. But I don’t have a hour glass trimming method. Recently I have been trying to buy every square ruler from 1 1/2 to 24 1/2. I’ll have to say it’s getting extremely expensive! I’m not sure what I was thinking!

[@CorianderQuilts]

I usually trim my HSTs with a regular, square ruler. But, I did recently really enjoy using a BlockLoc ruler for them...I've tried those many times over the years and haven't been sold on them. Everyone loves them, and I have one, so I tried it out every now and again...but just never really liked it. But this last time I tried it...just a couple months ago, I really liked it. I might be coming around! =)

Thanks for the lesson in making the quarter square triangle! I've not done many but I can see how the 1/4" marking ruler could come in handy. Less bulk than using a ruler which is what I've done and I usually end up knocking something off my work surface in the process! I'll have to find one of those!

[@CorianderQuilts]

[@CorianderQuilts]

You're welcome Sharon! I always like the idea of trying to use what we have before deciding we need anything additional to aid in our piecing. If we can attain great results without a special tool, that's so nice!

It's great to have a number of different ways to approach a unit. Sometimes one method works better than another for whatever reason.

[@karenvanraden9912]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen that square up ruler used before! I do use the two square method, but then I usually square up the old fashioned way, with just a plain square ruler.

[@CorianderQuilts]

I always think whatever method works for you is the right method to be using! =)

[@nadinemerrick1255]

thanks for the tutorial. I have done them this way, but honestly I don't have a favorite way, I usually just do how the pattern instructs. I probably should figure out a favorite way for all the different blocks and stick to it, maybe that will be my goal (thinking as I type here lol); to pay attention to different methods and figure out (and remember) what I like best. Thanks for the inspiration this morning. :)

[@CorianderQuilts]

I think that's a great idea Nadine. I've been thinking recently that sometimes our favorite ways of doing things are perhaps the ways that we've done them the most often. Therefore we have more practice using that method and better results since we use that way most often.
