Oh and when I sew strips together I never pin. That is not showing a lack of technique. My machine sews straight and true - pinning would be a waste of time!
I couldn't seem to find Debrak's post but I have to agree you. These videos are free and designed to sell products so they focus on one particular method of assembly, technique or quilt pattern. Take from them what they have to offer, refine your searches and look into what ever else interests you.
Kay Woods is great at this. Her focus is usually a quilt pattern and the techniques used to make it. . . using her rulers of course, but there's lot of information with it. I believe she has one on the 8 pointed star block with the technique for joining the centers. She may even have one on the lone star quilt.
Good luck and keep looking, I'm sure it's out there.
