This half square triangle ruler is perfect to trim those half square triangles, allowing for that seam bump that can throw off your trimming!

The blockloc HST ruler is the best tool you can have if you make HST’s in your quilts. I have had mine for years, once I started using it on a regular basis I am doing much better about NOT losing my points when I assemble my blocks. You will absolutely NEVER REGRET spending money on this tool. If you need a “ “sharpest tool in the box” this is it!

I quilt a lot and really enjoy the process of piecing a quilt. Like others, I know that consistent seam allowance and squaring off the blocks is crucial to the end result. This tool makes it so easy to square off your finished blocks before joining the individual blocks together to form the quilt! I love this tool!

This little piece of plastic is a miracle tool. How often I have struggled with half square triangles that were off just enough to ruin the pattern on a quilt. Youll find a quick tutorial on YouTube, and off you go, into the world of perfect triangles. Get one - youll wish you had it a long time ago - I did!

Cuts time significantly for squaring up HSTs.

Im working on the Ribbon Runs Thru It BOM kit, and there are a gajillion half and quarter square triangles in it. I have NEVER been fully successful with HST and QST before - that is, until I invested in one of the best rulers EVER! Yes, I could trim my HST and QST triangles with any ol square ruler, but the ruler always slips just a bit, and those pesky corners are just 1/16 or 1/32 off. My anal-retentive nature just wouldnt accept anything less than spot on, so the Half Square ruler to the rescue! My blocks all trimmed perfectly, they nested perfectly, and they sewed perfectly. I was also able to use the 1/2 markings to trim my QST - BO-NUS! Buy it - youll be glad you did!

I used it for cutting triangles from a square. Made my life a lot easier and faster.
