My grandson is getting married in july and he lives in Texas, so I thought I would make them a Lone Star quilt as a wedding gift. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get all of those points to come togeather. I tried pinning and they still migrated when I sewed the strips, so I tried glue. I now have been hand tacking each point before I sew on the machine. Is there any better way to set those points togeather? Would appreciate any and all suggestions.

I wish I could help, I plan on doing the Native American version (Lakota Star) one day.

QuiltSmart is what most of my guild members use for perfect points for this pattern. http://www.quiltsmart.com/

When I made mine I made sure the 1/4inch seam was not pressed the same way on the two pieces I was joining together. That way they butt up together and meet better. It worked well for me.

I did a lot of pinning and pressing to get mine lined up. Just take a breath and go back at it.

Are your tips/points getting pulled down into the needle hole when you start and stop?

Where is the item you are talking about on this website, Bella? I couldn't figure it out. Thanks!

Thank you all so much for your suggestions. I think I will try Quilt smart. I really want this to be a beautiful quilt for my grandson and his bride.

When making my lone star I had similar problems and I found starching/sizing made a big difference on the bias stretching! Good Luck!

I think it's the pre-printed interfacing. There is a demo on how to use it. This is what I found:

Fons & Porter does a TV show that comes on on Saturday afternoon. when I first started it they were doing the Lone Star. If you go to their website and look up the 1400 series show you will find it. they call it the Bethlehem Star but it is the same as the LoneStar.
