How this service works
Cut size of squares for half-square triangles (two-at-a-time or four-at-a-time) from the finished size, in eighths.
Output
Returns the cut square size in decimal inches and rounded to the nearest eighth of an inch, the unfinished HST size, the seam allowance added, the number of HSTs produced per pair of squares, and (if unitsNeeded is provided) the total number of pairs and squares to cut.
Example use cases
Quilt block HST sizing for beginners
“I'm making a quilt and need half-square triangles that finish at 4 inches using the two-at-a-time method — what size do I cut my squares, and how many pairs do I need to cut if I need 32 HSTs?”
Four-at-a-time HST production cutting
“I want to use the four-at-a-time method to make half-square triangles finishing at 2.5 inches. I need 100 of them — what size squares should I cut and how many pairs do I need?”
Custom quilt design planning
“I'm designing a quilt with 6-inch finished half-square triangles using the two-at-a-time method. What's the cut square size to the nearest eighth of an inch?”

Endpoint
GEThttps://craft-calc.x402tookit.com/hst-size?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when a quilter or sewist needs to calculate fabric cut sizes for half-square triangles (HSTs) from a known finished size, supporting both the two-at-a-time and four-at-a-time cutting methods with results rounded to the nearest eighth of an inch — the standard unit for quilting measurements.
Side effects
- Missing required finishedInches parameter returns an error
- Invalid or non-numeric finishedInches value causes a validation error
- Unrecognized method value (anything other than 'two' or 'four') may fall back to default or error
- Very small finishedInches values may produce impractical cut sizes
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient
