Can someone help and explain how to join triangles to I don't lose the tips.
I can't find the book I had years ago explaining this. Is there a website
somewhere to see how this is done? I'm getting desperate..........

You're going to have to be more specific as to what the question is.
There are half square triangles (HST), quarter square triangles (QST),
half rectangle triangles (HRT), paper pieced triangles, triangles made
with templates, and others too numerous to name.* Can you give us the
name of the block or design that you're trying to create?


*the triangles that surround the center square in 'square in a square,'
the triangles that go in 'storm at sea,' Peaky and Spike triangles from
Doreen Speckman's books ...

Both! :*( I'm making houses and losing the top of the roof and the roof
edges. I'm losing the edges of the lighthouse roof which are QSTs.

and the bottom edges.

How do you attach triangles to triangles and still have a 1/4 seam? I had a
book with a pic of how this is done but cannot find it.

Here's some photos. All triangles match up basically the same.

Thanks, but that's not what I'm trying to do. I'm attaching triangles to
squares and other triangles and can't get points with a seam allowance. The
point comes to the edge so the next piece cuts the points off. Instead of
being pointed my house roofs are flat. Do you know how I can sew them
together and keep the point back so there an 1/4 " seam allowance so the
points aren't cut off flat?
