I am just going to ask for the sake of it because it is obvious you are unhappy and frustrated.......but if you really want to make a Hunter's Star quilt...have you thought of doing your hunter's star with half square triangles method?? IMO it makes a beautiful hunters star.....not perhaps "traditional".....but it works. There is also the method where you stitch the angle at the ends of a strip - and they form the star when you sew the blocks together. Someone will know the name of the method / pattern....as i cannot bring it to mind. In neither of these do you have to worry too much about bias.
