    Awesome! I will share this with our QOV members. All those star points will fit without twisting and stretching to make the pieces fit. Thank You, you're a great teacher.

    This is the most clever tip I have ever seen. This is going to save so many adjustments when piecing and later having to adjust my blocks. Thank you. You have taught me so much!

    That is a fantastic tip. The control of the point was amasing. Edita Siitar sews from the point then stops and sews from the opposite point and meets in the middle but your way of sorting it is neat and quick. One of many tips I have learnt from you. Thank you Laura.

    THANK YOU, this is a 5-star tip! In fact, I am voting it Top Tip of the Month, or maybe the year! My desire to protect my family with individually fitted face masks inspired me to dust off my 30-year-old Brother sewing machine and revive my rusty sewing skills. When my poor tired machine balked at the bulky layered seams, forcing me to rip out as many stitches as not, I ordered a new Brother ST371HD and quickly realized there have been a lot of awesome upgrades to sewing machines in 30 years! Now I find myself wishing I had waited for a machine with a few more bells and whistles. 😊 As a teen and young adult, I sewed clothes for myself and my mother, baby clothes, quilts and bumper pads for my sons, fancy clothes for my sister's Barbie doll, drapes and pillows for my home, and a few quilts. If my family needed anything made of fabric and thread, I was their go-to person. I even made a polyester leisure suit for my husband! LOL! When my younger son started school, I started college and earned an R.N. degree. With the demands of busy mother, wife and R.N., my sewing fell by the wayside. Now I am absolutely loving sewing again. Thanks to wonderful people like you who are willing to share their time and skills on YT, my skills and results have improved immensely.
