Sew Easy: Quick Hourglass Units

video.fonsandporter.com: The Fons & Porter staff show you how to make quick hourglass units. Jean and Colleen say this method is more accurate than cutting half-square triangles. The quilt in the background, Medallion Sampler, can be found in Sampler Quilts & Blocks Winter ’11. For more Sew Easy lessons, visit video.fonsandporter.com/videos...

Really appreciate that you don't include ads!!!!!

Thanks for giving sizing info ! Best instructions for this block!

[@danav3001]

Thank you for this video. I am following a pattern and need to make hour glass units. The instructions are to cut dozens of triangles and assemble but I am so afraid of the bias. This video gives me a safer way to assemble them so that I am less concerned about the bias and actually it looks a much better way to do it! So lucky to have access to your video! Thank you!

I appeciate all your videos thank you! Every time I need to try something new, or recall something I haven't done in a long time, I always go to the Fons & Porter tips.

why make two lines then cut down the middle? Just cut diagonal down the middle same thing without all that extra sewing
