I have tried starching the two pieces before sewing and cutting, but still they get misshapen.
It sounds like you have pre-cut your triangles. Looks to me like the directions tell you to put 2 squares together, mark center diagonliy and then sew 1/4" on each side of line. then cut on line this should give you a square when pressed and open up. This is probably the easist and most commonly used method
