I always join them straight. They seem to get too stretchy using the angle. Having said that, it could be me that's the problem!
|
I always join the strips on an angle as I think it looks better and lays a little better too.
|
I do my border joining on the diagonal, also do the same for sashings.
|
I don't like the angled join. For one thing, it's a longer seam, so More noticeable. For another thing, it's on the bias, and may ripple. It doesn't make any sense to me.
|
I've never joined strips at an angle, only for binding. I don't have experience so i will just tell you that doing them straight has worked well for me.
|
I've always joined using the 45 degree angle, even my borders. I know that means I'll be wasting fabric but I keep those cutoffs to use when making HST. So really their not a waste but a pe-cut. I like the look of the angle more so than a straight seam. Just my preference.

I agree, always at an angle.
|
I always use an angle unless I don't have enough fabric

I use an angle unless there isn't enough fabric. My last border is orange with white dots about the size of a pencil eraser. By some magic luck, when I cut it and joined it, the dots all look like it is one long piece. I couldn't have done that if I tried.
