Look Mom, no lines!

I’ve had this Angler Tool for quite a while, but forgot about it. I recently started to make a quilt that called for those corner triangles…you all know the ones…..where you have a square and draw a line across it diagonally, then you sew on the line, cut and fold back. They are a pain, especially if you have tons to do…you end up drawing and drawing lines, before you can even get started. The pattern I was working on calls for 36 corner triangles. I dug out my Angler and put it to good use.

Position the angler on your machine using the guide.

 Sew from corner to corner following the centre line on the Angler.

Voila…no lines to draw.

Cut off the excess fabric leaving 1/4 inch.

Press towards the triangle.

 

How simple was that, and no tedious line drawing!
