Default Sewing non-nesting seams together

Does anyone have a foolproof method for sewing non-nesting seams together? Seams where the seam allowances both go in the same direction. I've tried fork pins which are wonderful for nesting seams but marginal here. Tried Wonder Tape....a 1/4" double-stick tape that washes away and is supposed to not gum up the needle. It holds pretty well but I get a slew of skipped stitches after stitching through the tape. I'm putting my Dear Jane blocks together and the sashings and cornerstones are 1/2" so accuracy is important on this small scale. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
