Thanks, Sandy. I think I understand. I'm with you about using Jenny's tut. But for me being new at this, it's good to learn how it's done the original method and then the shortcuts can grow from there. I am doing a BOM and it has the basket (?) and I will do that tube method on Jenny's tutorial to cut out the half-square triangles. The class is all about the Y seam, so if I mess this up, it's only muslin and just one piece. It's just for learning purposes.
