I use this method, but instead of the wonder cut ruler, which I dont own, I use E Burns hst square up ruler. sew my2 lines, then cut triangles. No trimming as they come out perfect. Yes there is a bias edge, but I starch them with no problems. Works like a charm.

There is Tiger Tape as well on the market and it works very well but you do have to sit and tape each set still. I wish there was a way to just do it without the markings and then get on with the blocks but when I try I always mess up.

current quilt in the making requires lots of 1/2 sq triangles, found this idea but have lost the site, maybe 2 sisters, but will look for instructions when I get home. cut strip width of fabric x size of triangle plus 7/8 inch of each material. matching face to face sew 1/4 in seam at top and bottom u will have a long rectangle, square end, take triangle cut one, flip triangle cutting from other side of rectangle, so on ---------- AVAVAVAVAVAV (a & v standing in for triangles) hope this makes sense to you, will continue looking for site.
