It bothers me to have hst with bias edges. The only way to NOT have bias edges is to cut the strips on the bias. Ech

I bought this ruler some years ago. It's worth the price when you have a pattern that calls for a lot of HSTs. This ruler makes measuring and cutting a no brainer. Saves my brain cells.

Eleanor Burns as usual has an easy, quick method and with her triangle square up ruler it only takes one cut to square up a HST. With her method you make 8 squares at a time and none on the bias.
