A TMR sensor structure having free and reference layers, where the magnetic orientations of the free and reference layers are non-orthogonal. In one embodiment, a ferromagnetic free layer film has a bias-point magnetization nominally oriented in plane of the film thereof, in a first direction at an angle thetafb with respect to a longitudinal axis being defined as the intersection of the plane of deposition of the free layer and the plane of the ABS. A ferromagnetic reference layer film has a bias-point magnetization nominally oriented in a plane of the film thereof, in a second direction at angle thetarb with respect to said longitudinal axis that is not orthogonal to the said first direction.
