I see so many questions from newbies asking how to have a perfect point on their stars.....here's what I do. I hope it helps you all! BTW - sorry about the 1st picture -- I had the camera setting wrong....and thought it would be okay. :mrgreen:
Sorry - had the wrong setting. This shows the front of my "star"...Make sure you have 1/4" from the tip of the star to the edge.

This intersection is the point of your star. Make sure it's 1/4" from the raw edge.

Sew across your seam....Do not sew on either side of that point. This is the critical piece of making a perfect point
