Oh my, over 35 years of quilting and teaching I have found, developed, stumbled on, and heard so many trick/tips/techniques I could (should?!) write a book!!
Trying to think of one I haven't already shared here in the years I've been a member....
Here is a quick way to make quarter-square triangles. I often use this to make use of leftover HSTs that I'd rather put to another use.

When sewing a snowball on the end of a strip. Mark your line, but be sure to sew one to two
" stitch " lines over from your marked line on the piece you are going to cut off. Just need to allow for the fold line or it will be a tad short.

This might help people who can't iron straight. lol like me.
I made a new cover for my ironing board using a striped material. When Ironing a strip of fabric, I use the lines to make sure the strip is straight, just like you would do on your cutting mat.

Going old school and learning to pull a thread and then using scissors to cut long sashings and borders. What a revelation!
I despise rotary cutting. Over twenty years of quilting I still can't rotary cut without the dreaded "v". Now my rotary is only used to trim units and blocks.
