    I was shown many years ago to pull up the bobbin thread. cross it corner to corner, hold it down with the guiding finger and follow that line.

    I have a piece of painter tape on my extension table that I use for sewing my 45* angle. I line from the needle and sew aim for the edge of the painters tape. There are several ways to avoid drawing lines. Jenny Doan irons a crease in her squares and sews along the crease.

    That is how I do it and it is fast and easy to do, no lines to get out you know right where to cut.

    Great idea! That would also work while sewing strips of binding together!
