Thank you. To get a stripe to go the same way in an HST, I cut my square just a little larger than I want my finished piece to be, lay the pattern the same way for both, then sew top left to bottom right on one and top right to bottom left on the other. And just because I didn't want to leave anything to chance, I stitched the first one, cut, sized, and placed it then placed the second one to make sure it was right.
