If you have trouble with the seam allowance, be sure to starch so you get a nice even cut, then you might consider triangle paper. Your sewing lines on on there and there is no guessing.

Mary,
The way I get my triangles exact is to cut the square at least a half inch larger than the pattern calls for. Once I have the triangle sewed together than I square it the size it should be.
Ditto - for me, it's not inaccurate cutting, it's that my seam allowance isn't always accurate. This way, it doesn't matter.
