Gran: I found if I starch the blocks it helps keep those seams on the bias from stretching out of shape. This really is very fast. I couldn't believe how quickly it went.
Is Best Press okay to use for this? I don't like starch (bad childhood memories) but this stuff doesn't seem to do too much. Maybe it works but I just don't understand as it isn't stiff.
Sure. Spray before you cut, after you get the quarter squares together and when you are done! Do you think your bias edges are stretching? If not I wouldn't worry about it. I think the quality of the fabric has something to do with stretching also.
:-D
