Lorchen OFFLINE Posts: 2639 Thank you received: 50	Whatever the formula, I always cut these setting triangles a little bigger and then trim them to the exact size after I have pressed them. I'm not the most accurate quilter and this way I get reasonable results. And Margo forgot to add: Starch your fabric before cutting it into triangles if you want perfection.

I cut my setting triangles with the straight of grain on the long side of the triangle which means I start with a square, and cut in diagonally with an "X".
To know what size square to start with, I add 1-1/4" to the longest FINISHED side of the triangle to get the cut length of the square.

Here is a handy chart to determine the size square to start with:
