HST - tips for Lefties -

One of the things that I want to do this year -

Is post some special "Tips and Tricks" for using the LEFT-EZE Rule™ -

I have some tutorials listed on the page at the top of my blog -

But I have more tips that I would like to share - ;))

If you're following a pattern -

And/or want a specific color/fabric as the LEFT wing on a Flying Geese unit -

And/or want a specific color/fabric as the RIGHT wing on a Flying Geese unit -

Like I did on my Christmas 3-D Challenge - HERE -

I wanted GREEN on the LEFT side -

And GOLD on the RIGHT SIDE -

Just remember - RIGHT SIDE UP -

Put the color/fabric that you want on the RIGHT - RIGHT SIDE UP -

Then it follows that the LEFT Side will be DOWN -
As you layer the two fabrics right sides together -

Here I put the GOLD - on the bottom - RIGHT SIDE UP -
And the GREEN - on the top - RIGHT SIDE DOWN -

Then cut your HST starting at the RIGHT end of the strips -

That way - when you open them up -

The FLAT ENDS will be in the MIDDLE -

And the POINTY ENDS will be at the SIDES -

And the fabric/color that was RIGHT SIDE UP (on the BOTTOM) -
will be on the RIGHT -

And the fabric/color that was RIGHT SIDE DOWN (on the TOP) -
will be on the LEFT -

When you go to sew your Flying Geese Units -

SPECIAL NOTE -

To those of you who are doing the current "Mystery" and who have a
LEFT-EZE Rule™ -

You can use the LEFT-EZE Rule™ -
and get the same exact thing - with NO changing the blue on top -

Layer it the same way - and just start at the RIGHT end of the strip -

First cut - black tip on top - diagonal from bottom left to top right -

Second cut - black tip on bottom - straight up the left side -

===

If you want/need both Wings to be the same -

You will need "mirror images" -

Both a LEFT and RIGHT side -

So fold your strip in half right sides together -

And cut your HST that way -

Easy, huh? - ;))

Which reminds me of something my Dad used to say -

And my Rule #10 -

"Anything is easy - if you know how!" - LOL - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
