I cut all my squares diagonally and then sew. Works best for me. When I am sewing the bias edge I hold the fabrics at the square point of the triangle, never the skinny point. This keeps from stretching the bias. Ann

I guess I'm about doing the most I can in the least amount of time. It's rare, and I mean rare, that I need just one hst, so why not make two or more at once. Even with scrap quilts unless I'm truly using "scraps" I never make one at a time. The magic 8 method is my favorite for making more than 4. I have heard of a method to make 16 or 18, not sure, and 25, again not sure of the number. I haven't tried then yet, but I will; there are a couple of patterns I was to make that are mostly hst's.
