Oh yeah, I hear ya. It took me several tries before I got it into my thick skull. For a while, I even pinned the diagonal line together so I could check to be sure I was sewing it right. But, you know what they say -- "If you're not ripping, you're not quilting!"

Here is the one I like

Yep, that's how I do it too. Nice, flat invisible seams every time.

Yes, this is another variation of the same method; they don't draw a line though, they just finger press the diagonal seam which works just as well.

I use the Fons and Porter template to make the diagonal seam. Once you've done it a few times it is easy!!!!!
