The accuracy gained from the Perfect Corner Ruler method far outweighs any problems arising from the fill-in triangle’s bias edge. The “fill-in” triangle is already over-sized so getting it to fit does not require stretching it. The only issue we’ve had is that it “wants to move out of place” so one should pin the fabrics, as the video warns. Also, as the triangle is placed below the “base fabric” [block], one does not have the opportunity of stretching it. Although I might be “biased” because my wife created it, we have seen marked improvements in piecing, received many thanks, and not a single complaint from anyone who has tried it.

We saw this at a shop hop today. I was going to buy one but my kids were rushing me and I totally forgot. I'm probably going to get one eventually. I don't save my cut off corners so this would save me a lot of fabric. I just don't want to pay a bunch of shipping so I'll have to wait until the next hop since I can't go back tomorrow (or see if the lqs stocks it).

Maybe your tension is too tight for your stitch length.
Just a guess. Try sewing one of paper and see if you can
find the problem. If the paper block measures okay then
it's how you are sewing the fabric.
I like specialty rulers and this one will save fabric.
I tend to make my triangles too big so I can trim to size
and I make them too big.
