I've never done it on triangles.
|
Never.

I have. My avatar quilt was the first on point I did and it was in the pattern for the setting triangles. Helped a lot. I don't do it anymore because I have learned how to handle bias just fine.
|
I haven't stay stitched bias edges. I used to spray starch but now use Best Press instead as it is easier to use.

i starch them to death.

This probably isnt the same thing but... I made a quilt one time that was set on point, where you have the triangles all around the outside edge. Before I sent it off to be quilted, I stitched all around the outside edge.

I would think stay-stitching would actually distort triangles if you are stay-stitching on the bias edge! |
no i dont but maybe on a large triangle that would be on the edge and not being quilted right away
|
ive never done it either and i've made tons of triangles...never heard of it, but it probably helps with the stretching of the bias edge.

the only time you might really need to stay stitch is for the borders. So they don't stretch when quilting them.
