Thanks Rob! What an amazingly helpful video!

Thanks for the shorter, focused video. We all have problems like this! Love your videos and your over-caffeinated delivery!!

So stunning

Love your videos. This one came at a great time. Bought 12 checker board squares from thrift shop. They are made of 25 3 1/2" squares each. Now I know what to do with them as I didn't like the just put together as is. Thank you so much

This was great!! Once upon a time many, many moons ago I heard Nancy Zieman mention HSTs and the 7/8 measure, but didn't "get" the detail on how it worked with other segments of a quilt. Thank you so much for this explanation and example.

Well, that's one great idea! Thanks for solving the math problem for us, Rob. You rock!

That makes perfect sense. Because adding the second half of the block creates a 1/4 inch seam that must be added as well. Explained perfectly Rob. You always do such a great job. 👍 Love your videos and wonderful sense of humor.

I love simple blocks with snazzy fabrics. Kudos!

Hi Suzie How are you today?🌷🌻

Thank you Rob and that fabric is so beautiful.

Awesome! Lawdy, how I hate math but this makes perfect sense!

I love your enthusiasm when teaching something new. You also make things easier to comprehend. Thank you for being you. 🙃 I also loved the way you popped up into the video at the end! lol

I really appreciate this video!! You explained it so I could understand it! Thanks Rob!! Love all your videos, this one will be watched again for sure🥰

WOW!!! Super demo and block!!! That really makes us think!

Thank you from Poland 😁 You're the best Rob 🌻

Hi Dorothy How are you today?🌷🌻

excellent tutorial. thanks for teaching us this.

Reminds me of a pair of vans

Great tutorial!

Love math! Loved this video!

You are amazing! Gr8 video.

What a cool block

Good job 👍🏼

Smart. Reminds me of sewing on point. What would be a setting triangle in the on point is your center triangle to join the solid triangle. Makes sense to me.

Hi Rob, that makes a lot of sense! Can you comment on the twisted seam allowance that we see at about 12:09 minutes on the video. I have this problem often when making 9-patches! It seems to keep the quilt top from laying flat nicely. What do you do about it?

Thank you Rob. The fabrics are beautiful. Wish I could purchase them. I live in Sri Lanka and the cost of shipping is very high.

Really like this. Let's us intermediate sewists get into slightly more complicated designs without going *full block*. Would love to see some quilt designs with this - you can just break out the EQ8. We're not fussy...

Where do I get the pattern for the quilt on the wall?? I love it!!!

Now this makes sense. Math is not my strong point but knowing to use a square that is 7/8ths makes sense to give that 1/4 th seam allowance. Thanks

What an awesome iron! Where can one be purchased?

Great video thank you. I would suggest a link to a written diagram with measurements. Unfortunately I have a quirky brain, verbal numbers alone don’t sink in as well as a combination of verbal and static diagram with numbers. Like our old math textbooks. Wouldn’t have been great back then to have been able to rewind and replay our old instructors. These videos make such a difference.

Why do some sewers use start pieces and end pieces sometimes called thread savers. Could you show how to use them. Thank y’all

That concept is used for two reasons. First it makes your piecing like "Chain Piecing" so you are not cutting nearly as much top and bobbin the thread at each piece. The other reason is some machines have an attitude problem, (aka just need a good service) and will pull the edges of your fabric into the stitch plate. Again, a service and a fresh needle will often solve this problem. I do not use one myself, but see the benefits of saving the thread when I do chain piece.

I love your videos and was excited to see this hs checkerboard block, I've been wanting to do one, but OMG this was one of the most absolutely confusing tutorials I've ever seen. I feel like I just witnessed something going 500,000 mph. I'm ADHD and speak this language but you lost me at put it together rip it apart. 🙉 Rob could you slow down a little for us beginner intermediates. ❤️

Oh, so when my geometry teacher said I'd use geometry all my life, she was right?!😮

What is the pattern name of the quilt on display behind you? I would love to make that one!

Send me the pattern of checkered half square triangle please?
