An equilateral triangle has three sides each the same length, with three angles each 60 degrees.

Drawing – To draw the shape with seam allowances = finished height + ³⁄₄in (1.9cm).

Cutting – Cut a fabric strip to the desired width.

Use a rotary ruler, positioning the 60 degree line along the top edge of the fabric strip. Make the cut and discard the end piece.

Re-position the ruler so the other 60 degree line is along the bottom edge of the fabric strip. Make the cut – this is the first triangle.

Re-position the ruler again as in the first cutting diagram, with the 60 degree line along the top edge of the strip, and make the cut. Continue alternating the ruler position along the strip.
