    Since I have started doing my geese this way I have always had great results-and fast! Now when I have to do them a different way in my BOMs that come with little extra fabric or precut pieces, I sigh and brace for impact. Heidi

    If you are cutting triangles, try starching the fabric pretty heavily. This really helps keep the bias sides from stretching :D:D:D

    I agree with buzybess, El Burns method is best.
    You can see a video at http://quiltinaday.com
    Go to the television and video on the brown line.
