Is Stay Stitching Triangles Really Necessary???
#13
I have. My avatar quilt was the first on point I did and it was in the pattern for the setting triangles. Helped a lot. I don't do it anymore because I have learned how to handle bias just fine.

This probably isnt the same thing but... I made a quilt one time that was set on point, where you have the triangles all around the outside edge. Before I sent it off to be quilted, I stitched all around the outside edge.

I would think stay-stitching would actually distort triangles if you are stay-stitching on the bias edge!
