A quilter eventually faces the challenges of bias when constructing triangles, half-square triangles and quarter-square triangles. What's a quilter to do? And, who loves geometry?
Why avoid it - tackle those triangles! After you watch this video, you'll be amazed at how we construct three basic triangle blocks without ever sewing a cut bias. We do not cut little triangles out or struggle with bias and stretching. We sew our triangles even before we cut our seams. We also show you how to tame half-square triangles using freezer paper construction. So what are you waiting for? This video gives you the best tips!
It's easy, efficient, and the best part of all, you will have beautiful, stable and perfectly square blocks. So be a happy and confident quilter and experience the fun in efficiently creating the Basic 3-Triangle Block, Basic Nested Triangle Block and Basic Bear's Paw Triangle.

We have demonstrated the basics of taming triangles in Part 1. Here in Part 2 we have even more fun and adventure a bit further.
We show you how we constructed two basic triangle blocks using various methods of half square triangles, flying geese, strip chain-piecing and more. We do not cut out little triangles or struggle with bias and stretching. Now you can do the same, sew your triangles before you cut them! We give you our best tips so you too can sew triangles from a better angle!
It’s easy, efficient, and the best part of all, you will have beautiful, stable and perfectly square blocks. So be a happy and confident quilter and experience the fun in efficiently creating the Mother’s Choice and Double T blocks.

Put a new spin on your quilting techniques with the Millstone block. This block is interesting and fun to make. There are three basic units. Our techniques for wild geese, bias strip chain piecing and square corner nesting show you how to get perfect results every time. Add these techniques to your quilting skill library for your next project.
First, learn how to make Tri-Color Flying Geese with ease and confidence and no waste and get perfect points every time.
Second, Half-Square Triangle Unit Joined to a Triangle is a bias strip chain piecing technique that joins a half-square to a one-quarter square triangle. We show you how to sew these units together before you cut them.
Third, we show you Square Corner Nesting. A really unique way to tackle the corners on this block and make two corners at one time.
