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:
Remember Jenny on Missouri star quilt company mentions bias edges but said she hasn't had any problems. Any time you deal with bias edges you need to be careful so I don't think it matters. P.S. I love the sew around edges that Jenny mentions. Again, personal choice and probably is a can of worms.
