For some reason, I don't seem to have a problem with them. I usually do the method where you cut two squares and draw a diagonal line, if you need to, and sew on either side of that....1/4 inch seams. Maybe it's because I tend to make mine scant quarter inch seams. I started doing this all by hand and maybe that also tends not to stretch bias seams out of shape. Don't know but you'll find the method that works best for you and use that one. Try to loosen up and enjoy the process.
