Originally posted by GramaChrisOriginally posted by FrostythesewmanYes, paper piecing does make it possible to make razor edge and knife sharp stars. The only thing that I would add is
the following recommendation with regard to a course of action. Get a small pattern for a paper pieced star. Get the feel of
this tecnique. Relax your shoulders, take the time to get closely acquainted with sewing in paper piecing. This is a good idea
with any new concept. Take the fear and sweat out of a big job by doing a few little ones first , using your new learned skill !
MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone here I guess I have a new family using this forum from now on
Ho Ho Ho Chris
You might find some of the info in my video tutorials earlier this year for paper piecing the 2013 BOM helpful: learn/classrooms/
And, you might want to borrow a couple of sheets of paper from a quilty friend and try them to see which method you prefer working with.
It's Not What You Gather, But What You Scatter
That Tells What Kind Of Life You Have Lived !

Welcome to the forum Chris. Sorry I can't help you with your questions. I have not done a mariners compass. We spent last week in the Dells. Cold, but no snow. Returned home to SE Missouri to 12 inches of snow. Crazy. We had a good visit with friends from Beaver Dam. Also son and DDIL dropped by to visit. They live in upper MI. If you get to the Dells, in Reedsburg is a wonderful quilt shop. They were so friendly and had over 9000 bolts of fabric.

Jinny Beyer has a FREE mariner's compass and excellent instructions. Jinny Beyer, of course, is the master of hand-piecing. It is not hard to do if you follow her directions. If you hand -piece at least one block, you will understand all quilt blocks and how they fit together. I hope you will view Jinnys' online site, even if you decide to do other types of blocks. Her work is amazing and she is so generous with her talent and patterns. There is an awesome mariner's compass in Medallion Quilts by Bettina Havig and also one in one of Marti Michell's older books. I printed the templates of those type blocks in EQ and hand-pieced one for the Hoffman Challenge that was included in their traveling trunks. I learned much about accuracy while piecing a 27 inch center Mariner. There are so many options, the one that works for you is the best. Good luck.
