this has been bothering me. i tried it again and the triangles were fine. i starched the fabric and then laid out 6 layers. maybe you should begin with four. then i cut all the layers together, using my eight inch square. i made four stacks as a test. the starch made the layers stick to each other. since they were cut as one, they stayed put.
i was careful to cut straight, but i didn't worry about grain too much. i used a new blade and made sure it didn't wobble in the handle. i held the handle and blade straight up and down - very important!! i don't use those HF blades. i used a 45mm blade.
i finger pressed according to the directions. you could use the paper method. it won't matter. then i cut. i checked the triangles on one stack without mixing up the colors. i checked the triangles on the other stacks with mixing up the colors. they all worked.
did you do anything different?
