Use scrap PAPER to test your size piece. I always add at least a half inch seam allowance around the piece, then test with paper to be sure it fits. Cheaper than fabric.

I tuned into watch the Scrappy Triangles Lessons on Monday, March 30th and only saw an introduction. I have my book of patterns, am using my own stash and am ready to go. Hope I didn't miss something. When will the actual lessons begin?
Thanks,...

I have the same question! Tuned in to the intro. I've ordered my book and will be using scraps also.

Is copying the pages from the Scrappy Triangles book a copyright problem? I would think the designer wants us to use the sheets in the booklet and not copy them but buy more if you want more. It says on the pages that it cannot be reproduced.
