Preventing side setting triangles stretching
#5
If you can, try to cut the triangles so that the straight of grain is along the outside. This means cutting the block twice like an X. That way you are stitching the bias edges to the edge of your blocks right away. Less stretching that way.

I would starch and then do as quoted below! I know this works.

If you page backward/forward it shows the difference between 1/2 square and 1/4 square triangles...which ones to use for different triangle needs. It really makes a difference. Happy quilting!

I would certainly starch. Press by lifting the iron and then setting it down in a new spot, rather than sliding it back and forth on the block. Not only is starching quicker I think stay stitching would be pretty tedious task. I really like the new Bounce Ironing Spray--it is inexpensive and gives a nice crisp finish to the fabric. Good luck.
