I have had people challenge me about the bias. I never pay any attention to bias. When I piece I use a tack -stitch a couple of stitches across where any seams meet-- and I also tack at each end of two blocks where the seam will go through so the tack is covered by the seam. this makes the fabric stay in place and bias isn't an issue.
