Half Square Triangles

How many ways do you know to make half square triangles (HST's)? I found this tutorial from Connecting Threads explaining 2 methods. There is also Thangles and specialty rulers. All are interchangable. You will save yourself lots of headaches if you can look at a pattern, determine what size HST you need and then use your favorite method instead of the author's method. I also like to add 1" instead of 7/8" to the finished size. After I sew the seam I trim the HST to the correct size. This way I don't have to worry as much about my seam allowance and still end up with an accurate block.
