Are you sewing with a zigzag machine with the large hole plate on? I have no problem with beginnings being eaten with a machine with a small needle hole. My zz machine that only has a wide hole will eat the beginning corner of a half square triangle, but she isn't allowed to quilt, so it's not an issue.
My current leaders are going into an Arkansas Crossroads so I need 16 patches - lots of 2 1/2 squares used up.
