Is there a quicker way than drawing a line from corner to corner?

I have tried all the methods mentioned here but found no matter where I sewed in relation to the line I couldn’t get consistent results. I recently invested in a corner clipper ruler and I am finally getting good corner triangles or half square triangles. I will never go back to drawing a line. There are several companies that sell these. Check them out.

So if your sewing machine feeds very evenly and you're good at keeping your fabric straight as you sew, this should work for your needs: http://aprilrosenthal.com/2013/11/25...ngle-hst-hack/
If you have your square lined up correctly on your rectangle, you can just line up the corner of the square with the center line and be good to go. Hope it works for you!

Oh, yes! I sometimes put a piece of double sided tape on the back.

I have pieces of painter’s tape lined up on the front of my machine. One edge aligns with my 1/4” mark, one edge aligns with my needle. When I’m doing corner-to-corner, I just pop one corner under my presser foot and then keep the opposite corner lined up with the edge of the tape as it feeds through.

A friend introduced me to Tiger tape and I love it, especially if you are workings on lots of HST. It is made by Old Made Quilts who makes lots of different types of tiger tape products the one for the Triangles saved me tons of time from drawing the lines.
