If you've already checked out the "Prepare First" page,
you are ready for Step 1 below.

How to Make
Diamond-In-A-Square

Step 1:

Attach two green H Additions
  on your 24" ruler

Left-handers:
Attach them to the left side.

Built-in Alignment Tabs make it easy to attach them flush against the ruler's edge, so
they are aligned accurately.

About Suction Cups:

• Make sure to add a drop of water to the suction cups for the best grip.
  
• To remove the Addition, lift the release tabs on the suction cups.

Every Addition comes with
  a built-in Finger Guard:

The Seam Allowance Additions
include the S, H & Q Additions
to let you make most blocks:

Step 2:

Check out the "Prepare First" page if you haven't already.

Slide the Fabric Guides
( the yellow pieces included
in the Upgrade Kit ) to the 2" line.

Cut strips, using your 24" ruler.
Then, cut them into squares,
using your 12" ruler.

(Left-handers: Cut on the left side.)

Step 3:

Cut the squares once diagonally, and the exact seam allowance (0.854")
will be automatically included in your Half Square Triangles.

Step 4:

The Prep-Tool tells you exactly
where to trim the triangle points.

Step 5:

Adjust the Fabric Guide to
the Trimmed Triangle Width.
Then, cut the center squares.

Step 6:

The secret to sewing accurately
is a Scant ¼" seam allowance:

After cutting accurate pieces
sew them together accurately
using the Seam Guide Setter.

doesn't include the Setter,

Make Multiple (Nested)
Diamond in a Square Units

To add another, bigger outer square, you will need to cut four half square triangles.

1) Measure the first inner square by adjusting the Fabric Guide on
your ruler. Then, attach the H Addition to the ruler, and line up the fabric.

2) Cut two squares. Then, cut them in half diagonally to make
four half square triangles, which
will form the larger outer square.

3) Trim both ends of the HSTs
with the Prep-Tool.

4) Sew the HSTs to the original Diamond in a Square unit,
using the Super Easy Seam Guide Setter.

You can also make 9 &16-patch blocks any size,
using the same tools.

Seam Allowances for HSTs
and QSTs are not what you think.
