Disappearing Points
#2
Be sure you measure again before you sew your hst together. Mine usually end up a little bigger or a little wonky and I have to trim/square them up a little bit before joining them together. Since I've started doing that I don't lose near as many points as I used to. Just make sure when you are trimming that the diagonal (45 degree) line on your ruler is lined up on the diagonal seam in your hst.

When I was a beginner I had the same problem until I tried this trick. Use the full 1/4 inch seam until the putting the blocks together. At the time I move my needle over one space to the right. Perfect points ever time!

When you're ready to attach the star block put the star block on top so you can watch where the stitching is going. When you get to the point slow down and put the needle down right at the end of the point. When you finish you'll find your point right there and as sharp as ever.
