When you sew around the edged of the square and then cut, you are not sewing on the bias but once you cut it ALL edges of the HST are on the bias. To me that is worse because now your squares have bias edges.

I use this method all the time when I need a diagonal seam.

Interesting. I saw a method of making 4 hst at a time by sewing completely around the square, then cutting on each diagonal (2 cuts). But I've lost it and can't remember how much larger the squares need to be to make the right size hst. Anyone know about that method? It was super fast and accurate.
