Description
In this workshop Sallieann shows you how to make accurate half-square triangle units; these units are used extensively in patchwork and you will find the technique is needed in future blocks in this beginner series, such as Churn Dash, Shoo Fly and Road to Oklahoma.
Sallieann takes you through the process of sewing the units; pressing them; and then sewing the three rows together which will include some plain squares.
You will need to sew with an accurate 1/4″ seam allowance – to learn how to do this – click here.
