Will Jen Kingwell demonstrate her hand piecing techniques in the upcoming months? I hand pieced the first block and in my opinion, it was a disaster. I could not get the center points to line up even after multiple attempts at taking the center apart and stitching then over again. I wish the Quilt Show had Jen demonstrate that first block. I am not a quitter. I bought more background fabric so I can do this block over.Thanks, Barbara, for all of your instructions. I appreciate you.

No, Jen has provided all she planned to in the Show. She does have videos you can find online, some have been mentioned here earlier in the year.
I just Googled Jen Kingwell Videos and found these two which you may like:

They are very detailed, with Jen explaining a lot of things that apply to Pick A Petal.Last edited by Barbara B.; 02-01-2024, 10:22 AM.

You will get it! Try this month’s blocks, they are a little more forgiving. I like appliqué ( short) pins — at your intersections, pin at the dot and double check they’re aligned. A little backstitch before and after the intersection will help it stay stable. Linda Franz of Inklingo is another one with a good online hand piecing tutorial, and she has a detailed demo of getting secure intersections. Practice truly will make perfect!

Will we be able to buy an extra 1/2 yard of the "Seed" white and black fabric that we used for the star background? I wish to use this for all of my handles in the 64 fan blocks. If not, has anyone seen this fabric for sale on a website?Robin Hessefort

hand piecing a 8 point star. I would watch her whole section but the center of the star is at the 18 min. point. She says that
you need to have a very, very tight lock at the seam allowance there, or it will shift on you and you get a bit of a mess.
The first part on the 4 patch will also help you with the intersections on month 2. HelenW

Wendy Welsh, another fairly well know Australian quilter. She has very good photography and verbal description
of how to do it. HelenW

A lot of patterns are in the CLASSROOM section on the website—find that under LEARN.
I encourage everyone new to the site to go to each SECTION on the purple bar at the top and SEE what is in WATCH/LEARN/SEE QUILTS/ FORUM/QUILTAPEDIA/BLOG/SHOP sections. Click around each SECTION, you will find so much in each one.

you did not post it at the beginning of Jan. Hope any one doing hand piecing takes the time to watch it. HelenW

I'm having trouble marking the dots with something I can see on dark materials with the thick templates. Any suggestions? My sew line markers won't fit through the hole to reach the fabric.

Shelby, Have you tried pushing the end of the sew line a half dozen times to make the white
chalk come out about 3/8 to 1/2 inch long. I know it will break easily, but if you lightly mark the
dot, you can go back and make it darker after you get the chalk back to about 1/8 inch long, by
taking it all the way out and then re inserting the chalk. Also, how about a pin thru the hole,
lift the template up enough that you can use your white sew line to mark where the pin is sticking
thru. HelenW

16.5" is the size including seam allowances. The center should be at 8.25" in all four directions, north, east, south and west.
Check from the center out to see what your block measures. Perhaps you can block it to the correct size. In piecing a block the 3 things that go wrong are cutting, sewing and/or pressing.
