So, my question is, what is the easiest, most sure-proof way of making HST without bias edges?
I would rather use a special ruler than a paper method (Thangles or whatever).
Hope I'm not opening a can of worms here. :wink:
If you do not want the bias edges, place your ruler on the diagonal on the straight of grain on the fabrics when cutting out the squares. Then sew on all 4 sides and cut twice diagonally. No bias edges. Cut a sample and see how you like the way it turns out. It works for me.
