The power piecing half-square triangle is one of the most creative components in thousands of quilt blocks. Traditionally, making these triangles involves measuring, precise stitching, trimming, and squaring up—often a tedious process. Now, thanks to Tamara Evans’s foolproof method, you can stitch sixteen at a time in the hoop. Once stitched, simply cut along the lines, and you’re done! For class, bring two or three starched and pressed fat quarters. You’ll use these to create 64 half-square triangles quickly and easily.

Next, you’ll learn how to arrange them into four 16-patch blocks. With precision piecing in the hoop, the blocks almost assemble themselves. You can choose to make four coordinating blocks to form one large block, or create four unique designs. With a little inspiration and these embroidery designs, you become the designer. Don’t miss this opportunity to revolutionize your quilting and unleash your creativity!
