My goodness, this lady is brilliant. All I want to do is make quilts since I came across her teaching videos. Thank you so much!

Fantastic tutorial. Especially useful to know how to cut the diamonds with basic rulers most of us already have and not have to buy yet another "special" ruler. Microtex needles are great too. So much good info in this lesson.

I just love Edyta. She explains so carefully. I was having a lot of ah moments. Now I can't wait to try what she showed us. This should also help her sell her books and etc. Big Hugs Edyta. Thanks for all of your tutorials.

I just made a practice star and followed your directions to a T. The star turned out so perfect I'm now doing a second and it is perfect also. Your directions are so easy to follow. I have a book of your patterns but they looked to advanced for me. Well I don't feel that way anymore. I feel ready to tackle one of your patterns now. Plus I have to figure out what to make with these perfect stars!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Brilliant instruction and step by step process! I was so frustrated trying to set in the corners and triangles untilI watched this....thank you so much!!

Wow, such a brilliant tutorial. Edyta simply shines with all of her techniques and details.... and its the little details that make a difficult block become achievable. Thank you!

Edyta is amazing! You make everything seem so straightforward just by following the method with attention. Thank you so much for sharing your techniques.

I am a very new quilter, in fact, I have yet to make my first real block! I have been watching so many videos to learn everything I can. I have never seen anyone to do this method and I am so glad I found this! it simplified it so well and now, I have no fear of trying this!! Thank you!

I am fairly new to quilting but have sewn all my life. I love this star and tutorial. It is patience, patience, and patience and it will turn out perfect. Thank you both for a great tutorial. Excited to make one.

What a great tutorial!!! Love Edyta's quilts,patterns and fabrics. Thank you for sharing !

Thank you. This is by far the cream of patchwork, beautiful block and the tutorial is so clearly explained. Thanks from England.

From one Polish girl to another - Edyta, you are a genius! Finally, I can do my LeMoyne star. Thank you!

Omg what a charming personality this lady has and so wonderful at clearly explaining her techniques!

This is wonderful! I just tried your method for sewing Y-seams and it worked beautifully. Thank you!

Love this technique and I love Edyta! She has such a wonderful accent, I could listen to her all day :]

I am so grateful to have found this tutorial! I have been struggling all week to make an 8-pointed star in the traditional way and was ready to give up and use one of the methods that does not use set-in seams. My first block using this method turned out worlds better than anything I have made using the traditional method. Thank you so much!

Edyta, beautiful instructions! Now, I am not going to be afraid to use "Y" seams. You made it so so simple ... Step by step ... cut, angle, direction of sewing, laying directions of seam allowance and pressing only the back side. This is my first time watching your tutorial, but, I will be looking forward to seeing more.

Thank you so much, This has to be the single best video on 8 point star!!! I cannot express how thankful I am to have found it. You rock!!

Just finished my 1st 8 point star by watching your video. Thank you so much!!! Perfect tutorial!!!

Love this video as it explains everything so clearly. She makes beautiful star blocks.

Thank you so much, I have just started making star a day by hand and was struggling with inserting the triangles and squares, I have applied your technique by hand and it has worked perfectly, you have inspired me to carry on😊

Edyta is wonderful! Great tips and very clear instructions.

well even though I should be cooking for thanksgiving I stopped to make just one...then more and have 7 so far - just WONDERFUL...a block I have tried with bad results until this....so good to have learned something really really good

I benefit from shortcuts when I understand the basics as a reference. This is BRILLIANT!!

Kimberly always offers such great learning videos. With quilters like Lori Holt and Edyta Sitar, it is always so interesting and challenging, which I need.

This video is a great explanation of star making! I love the technique for y seams. It will certainly make my work much better.

Wow! What a great technique! It looks really time consuming but well worth it!

I love this! What a very clear & wonderful technique. I enjoy you both so much. Thank you! Now on to your next lesson for me🤗🥰🦩

Hi my name is Nettie I am really just in awe of how easy you make this you are so very CLEAR and slow enough for me to follow you instruction on how to assemble this block thankyou I'm so excited an confident I can do this thankyou so very much for your tutorial I have all my pieces cut an laid out an ready to sew together you are amazing Edyta Sitar 🙂

Also, for beginners like me who don't have all the correct rulers, if you add one inch to the top and bottom, mark them and cut at a 45 degree, it works fabulous! Thanks! Its beautiful! I can't wait to finish my star! After I finish my practice star, I am going to add stars to the quilt I am making for my bed! Thanks again!

I know this was first published 3 years ago... little late getting to it! Love the demo and I made a beginner 8 point star. Edyta made it easy. Thanks for the demo!

This will be my first attempt at a quilt block. This tutorial has given me a little more confidence. Thank you so much for posting!

What a beautiful block, I must say I am excited to try it!

This class is the best I’ve had seen. Thank you very much! The explanation is amazing! 😘🌹

Beautiful! And Edyta makes it look so easy!

I watched this for the first time today. I am so happy to have tried this method,my star came out beautiful. I followed everything and so far have made about 8 stars. Thank you so much, You have been such a help.

So happy to find this. Our sewing class is working on the theme The Northern star so this is perfect. Thanks

Great video!! Edyta really does a great job in teaching. I watched the video a couple of times and on my first try got great results. Now that I know this can be easily done, I'm not sure I will need to english paper piece stars...what a time saver!!!!

This tutorial is stellar! Thank you so much! I tried to do my first quilt without instructions and its not going well. I am off to get a circular cutter! Thank you!

Edyta, you really got me hooked with your beautiful fabrics, your kind soul and your brilliant explanations. Greetings from Europe, D.

kim u rock!! I have learned so much from your teachings. thank you so very much,and keep up the great work.

Thank you for the video. I have been afraid to try a diamond with those Y seams. You're method is very helpful. Thank you for sharing your techniques! You star quilts are beautiful!

Thank you so much for this wonderful video. I am so excited about getting this one started.

Holy cow that quilt in the background is stunning!!!

Very glad I found this video, I have never done Y seams and this really helped. Thanks

Well this video shows how to add the corners. Just had to look thru the videos to find it. Thanx Edyta. You are so amazing

You are a very talented lady ! I really like this video and I love her kind soft spirit ! Wow some awesome tips on sewing bias edges ! This is explaining where and what causes the issues of sewing harder complex seams !

Really great techniques, explanations, & demonstrations! Thanks!

Wow! Very well done tutorial. I've never had any desire to make a star and now want to try this step by step.

Thank you so much. What a great tutorial. Can't wait to sew my first perfect star.

BRAVO!!!! Edyta is the best teacher.

Thank you. I have just completed a nearly perfect 8 point star and I am looking forward to doing the next one. Excellent tutorial.

I just tried this because the instructions were so great. My block came out perfect and was the exact size it was supposed to be. Thanks to both Edyta and Kimberly for posting this. I'll never do "cheater" star blocks again. I can do a "Y Seam". :-)

Learning something new everyday, I've done this block but in a different way of cutting and piecing. This is so simple and clear, thanks for the tutorial.

What a great tutorial. I got an accuquilt and the strip cutter makes perfect diamonds. But I had no idea how to sew them together without screwing everything up. This helps me a ton. My cutting is not as good as I would like so the accuquilt helps me a lot. lol

I’m a beginner and appreciate the detail. Thank you.

Excellent tutorial. Great tips. Thank you

Amazing teacher! Wow I am impressed!

I am so glad I found this gem. I know what my next project is going to be! 🎉

OMG 😲 what a beautiful fantastic lady ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ I have learnt so much from this lady she's a ⭐️️⭐️️⭐️️⭐️️⭐️️⭐️️⭐️️⭐️️⭐️️

I made my first 8-point star from this video :) Thank you!!

I'm looking forward to trying this block. I also must comment on how beautiful the background quilt is... Amazing!!!

Thank you for doing this tutorial. I have been wanting to try this technique.

Absolutely brilliant. Thank you so much for sharing this ❤❤❤

Wow,details explained so beautifully,thanks

She is absolutely precious! Thank you so much for teaching me a new technique :-)

Very helpful! Especially how to add the outer triangles and squares and which way to fold/press the seams!

Looking forward to trying this certainly breaks it down and makes it easier to get it right. Thank you

First time to see this tutorial. I am amazed how simple and simply beautiful you have made this. When an instructor explains why you do each thing, it is remembered as well as understood. I have the feeling I will play this video over and over again. There is so much to remember, but I want to make sure I do not forget even one single instruction. Thank-you for spending your time with us and sharing your wonderful talent. Can't wait to watch the next tutorial.

+Christine Waggoner The mat you are referring to is called a Design Board. They are available for purchase here: www.fatquartershop.com/green-circles-bee-in-my-bonnet-design-board Essentially they are foam core with batting on top and binding glued on. Thanks for watching!
