There isn't a specific video of just this technique, but she shows it in the video of the Strip Tube Tannenbaum (928) at about the 6:30 mark.

This is a great thread!
rryder - “basting areas where points need to match up with my machine before joining the whole row (can’t remember who I got that one from, it was either Carol Doak or Marti Michelle)”
It’s Carol Doak! I took her class on Craftsy and that’s just one of her routines that make paper-piecing more enjoyable and, I use it on regular piecing when there are seams that should line up.
Wanabee Quiltin - "I liked Missouri Star’s video about sewing two charms together along the sides and cutting them in the middle. Then add another piece to one of them and sew it into a four patch."
Could you be a bit more specific? I can’t get and image to search for. Tx
peaceandjoy – “ Too bad I just recovered my board a few weeks ago. Hopefully, I'll remember it next time!”
Saw this on one of the many sites I’ve visited recently: use a long ruler and draw a line on you ironing board. One is all that’s needed.
Keep those ideas coming!

Making 8 at a time HSTs! I'm doing HSTs all the time now!
Leaders and Enders, chain piecing, strip piecing, butting seams for sharp corners!
There's so much but these are the things I use all the time.

It's so easy and goes so fast! I keep this chart posted by my cutting table for quick reference. I found the chart on Pinterest.

Slapping my forehead. Why don't I think of these things? Hmmmm.... Do I want to mark up my pretty new cover, or go with the long metal ruler a la Donna Jordan? We're having the floors redone soon, and I am sure those metal rulers would cause quite a mark if it falls and hits on a corner.

I have for a long time had a line on my ironing board cover. I used Sharpie permanent marker and made a line that is 12" long. It comes in handy for so many things, and I have never had it come off on anything, even with steam or spray.
