Sometimes I have a hard time drawing the diagonal line on squares. The line doesn't end up straight because the fabric shifts under the ruler as a use the pencil to draw the line.
Here's what I came up with:
 |
| I use a sheet of 220 grit Wet or Dry sandpaper. |
 |
The grit is very fine and holds the fabric so that it doesn't shift.
I use a ruler and a mechanical pencil. The mechanical pencil makes a very fine line and it is easy to get the line right on the edge of the ruler. |
 |
| The lines are all straight, the fabric hasn't shifted and it hasn't stretched along the bias. |
It works for me. If you have another way of drawing the diagonal line on your squares please leave a comment and let me know!
