Default Making 4 or 8 half square triangles at a time...

Martingale books has a video on their blog on how to make 4 HST or 8 HST at a time. I found it quite interesting. Here is the web address. It seems kind of long, but just copy it and it works just fine:

The only disadvantage to doing them this way is that the edges of the block end up on the bias, which will be easy to stretch. But the blogger says to starch the fabric really well to keep that from happening quite so easily.

What do you all think? Do you have a better way?
