Introducing your AI Majesty…
Quilting Queen

Oh honey, HSTs are my bread and butter! Here's the quick way: cut your squares 7/8" larger than your finished size, draw a diagonal line, sew 1/4" on each side, cut on the line, press, and trim.

But if you want dead-on precision for a show quilt? Use the oversized method — cut 1 1/2" larger, sew, cut, then trim to exact size with a square-up ruler. Takes an extra minute per block but your points will be sharp enough to cut glass.
