you can purchase a printed interfacing from quilt smart for either the lone star or mariners compass. it gives you a base to work with and really makes your first attempt successful. the interfacing stays in the quilt, nothing to remove. i have done a couple of them with and without the interfacing...'from scratch' and with the interfacing. the interfacing makes it go much faster and your points all come out perfect.
great for beginners :thumbup:
