Seamingly Accurate® is excellent for making Half Square Triangles
(HST)!
A.
B.
C. 
A. Position your Seamingly
Accurate® paper guide by laying the Needle Line in line with your
needle.
As you sew, make sure that the corner point is lined up with the Dotted
¼” line. This will keep your diagonal center line ¼” from your stitching
line the entire time.
B. Sew down the left side, using the Seamingly Accurate® as your guide.
Flip the square unit and sew along the right side, still continue to use
the guide, giving you a square that looks like the one pictured.
*You will never have to mark the
centers of those squares again!*
C. Cut the two halves apart along the imaginary centerline, between the
two stitching lines. Press the new HST open. It should measure
square.
Seamingly Accurate® is excellent for making LARGER Half Square Triangles
(HST) too!

A. Mark the center line of the
first square of your project, as you would traditionally.
B. Start sewing 1/4" to the left
of that center line, still pretty traditional.
C. Here's the magic- Make
a note, as to where on the seam guide the right hand corner passes.
(where the arrow is pointing in the picture)
D. Now, with every other large
HST pair of that size, sew by lining up the right hand corner with the
guide line from step C.
Once the large square has moved up onto the seam guide, you can continue
to sew 1/4" from the center by making sure that the corner point is
lined up with the Dotted
¼” line, next to the Needle Line.
Seamingly Accurate® is excellent for Triangles and Continuous Binding!
When making continuous binding
strips, I cut many 2.5" strips of fabric and join them with a 45* seam.
This is method eliminates bulk when I'm hand sewing or machine stitching
the binding in place.
The 45* angle is also a very
popular angle in quilt triangle construction. To join a two pieces
of fabric with a 45* cut, the quilter needs to off-set the angles and
Seamingly Accurate® can help! The off-set should line up with the
needle stitching line. {see the photo below}

Seamingly Accurate® is excellent
for making Flanged Pillow
Shams!
What's a Flanged Pillow Sham?-
Think Ravioli- The seam guide allows for perfect flanged edges
around the pillow sham.


Seamingly Accurate® is excellent
for making Wide Hems!
Need a 3" hem on the bottom of
your new drapery or garment? Try Seamingly Accurate®.
Depending on your sewing machine's area under the sewing machine "head"
you can make
perfect hems up to 5.5" wide.
