I think starch is the answer, especially on triangles. Just learned this from Sharon Schamber and it really really makes a difference. I spray startch every piece of fabric now before I begin to cut. Big difference in accuracy.

I have never stay stitched a triangle! :wink:
|
Never.
|
I never have and never heard of it.

I would think stay-stitching would actually distort triangles if you are stay-stitching on the bias edge! |
I was having trouble with setting triangle for an on point block. I did the stay stiching and it worked out great.

Just usea little shorter length st... and be very careful not to stretch when stitchine.
I do have a fix butting on my machine and I do use that |
I stay stitch when I use pieces cut on the bias on the edges of the top so that they don't stretch out too much during the quilting part. Other than that, nope.
