New (to me) idea

Quick No Mark Stitch & Flip Tip
http://www.quiltmaker.com/blogs/quil...rk-stitch-flip
This will work for Half Square Triangles, Quarter Square Triangles, Corner Triangles & Flying Geese!

Shucks, looks like you will need to copy & paste.

I'm going to try this. I hate marking those diagonal lines. Thanks for sharing!

I probably would "wiggle" and sew the cardboard! Or it would slip and mess up.....drawing lines with pencil is easier for me....

I use the angler sometimes, works for me. I also have a permanent line drawn on my sewing machine straight down from the needle center position.

Use a strip cut from sandpaper and it will grip your fabric - no slipping.
