I mark mine & sew them FMQ. This was for a quilt for my niece, so it didn't need to be 100% perfect. For a competition quilt, I'd probably invest in a ruler foot. But if you go slow (& especially if you use a matching thread -- I used 40wt Aurifil in a matching color here), you will get something that looks pretty good -- sorry, haven't had time to bind & wash it yet. The one thing I would do differently though, is to cut a plastic template & use that rather than trying to make a compass work. Even the locking compass threw things off a bit depending on the angle at which I held it. The other issue was that I am absolutely terrible at piecing, so I ended up having to fudge a bunch of my blocks because I strip pieced them using my ruler backwards & forwards (backwards had a thin line, forwards had a thick one, so they ended up 1/16" off on bunch of my pieces). So I made all my blocks 1/8" smaller & had to adjust my quilting design accordingly.
