I watched the tutorial at

I was very impressed as I always have a problem keeping them from stretching. I would like opinions from other quilters as to what they think of this method.
I've used this method, but without the specila triangle template. I found that the edges on the bias was a problem. With 2 squares placed together and marked and sewn doen the diagonal, the bias is on the stitched seam which is not a problem.
