Do you get frustrated when your strips aren’t perfectly straight when joining on the diagonal?  Here’s a PMQD Quick Tip that will assure your strips stay aligned as they were meant to be!

When laying the strips right sides together perpendicularly (there’s a word we never thought we’d have to hear past high school geometry), offset them by just a few threads – 1/16th of an inch will do the trick.  This way, you can see both corners and will be able to draw a perfectly diagonal line from corner to corner.  The amount you’d lose in the offset is miniscule, but the accuracy you’ll achieve will be priceless!  Try it – let me know if it helped!
