Cluckclucksew has a diagonal seam tape that I am just starting to try. I don't like drawing lines or creasing. This might be the answer for me. I maybe would try positioning my point just to the left of the red line to get a scant 1/4 inch seam If you go to the site, there is an illustration on how to use the diagonal seam tape.

I use a peice of sandpaper on a clip board to hold the fabric in place, then mark with a thin mechanical pencil. Sew a thread or two inside of the line. I seem to sew a lot of patterns that need those corners and this system works well for me.

I have a magnetic cutting mat that came with a 1" wide metal ruler. I found it years ago at Tuesday Morning store in the scrapbooking supplies. The magnet ruler holds the fabric in place making drawing the line super quick. I use it a lot to hold the fabric perfectly in place to mark or cut. I've seen the smaller magnetic cutting mats with a 6 inch ruler but never have seen the big mat and long ruler again. The small one will work great for most hsts.
