I am attempting to draft several complicated Jinny Beyer eight-pointed star blocks from a couple of her books. The books show the grids, but the grids are very small and there are few if any instructions for how to draft.

I have been to four quilting instructors who got stuck and had to give up (going to number five next Tuesday). Now I am working on this by myself and I seem to have figured out how to draw the blocks on graph paper (I won't go into enormous detail in case you guys don't need all this) but the problem is the points and lines aren't accurate enough to make reliable templates. I have spent a large number of hours on this so far, which is not a problem, but I mention just so it's clear that I'm not on a first draft or anything, more like draft five or so...

I have some decent drafting supplies, so not sure how to proceed to get the accuracy I need.

Is there anyone here who has worked on this type of drafting and could walk me through the process so I can get a bit better results?

Thank you so much...
