Brevity isn't my strong suit but I'm going to try. The quilt top I'm assembling is an 'on point' design. Putting it together is a challenge and a lot of fun - but - I just realized that all of the outside block edges must be trimmed on the diagonal after it is assembled. That is going to leave me with hundreds of bias edges. Oh woe is me. What Ever can I do to prevent a rippled lettuce? Is there a neat trick where I can stitch the diagonals to something Very stable before I cut? My mind has toyed with water soluble thread and twill tape, an iron-on water soluble stabilizer . . . masking tape, duct tape . . . just all kinds of solutions that are (or seem to be flawed). help me, help me Polly

Thanks for the giggle. I just 'saw' those edges wiggling all on their own and wondered what kind of music you were playing. That's ok.I didn't get much sleep last night. Today is gonna be a "silly" day.
