Do you stay stitch your triangle pieces??? I purchased a pattern (by Jan Douglas) where the instructions call for stay-stitching all the triangle pieces. The only time I've used stay-stitching was for curves in clothing construction. Just wondering if this is as unusual to others as it seems to me.

I've never done it.

I have never stay stitched any thing for quilting. I just try to be careful when piecing the bias edges.

That is very unusual. I have never stay-stitched triangles. If they need to be absolutely accurate, I heavily spray starch the fabric before cutting. Starch stabilizes fabric so it doesn't distort during handling.
I would think stay-stitching would actually distort triangles if you are stay-stitching on the bias edge! |
I never have.

Nope. I'd starch them instead though.

Never heard of it before.

No I don't
