WE LOVE STARS - STARS ARE OUR FAVORITE!
It's true - we LOVE stars, and this Sawtooth Star is hugely popular with quilters. Here are some tips and tricks for assembling your own Sawtooth Star Block.
Starch! Pre-starching and ironing my
fabric is not only one of my favorite parts of quilting, but it also really helps to keep my fabric nice and crisp while working with it.
Creative Grids Rulers really help to get my units more accurate. I have a variety of sizes and I just love their clear lines and the grippers on the back.
I top up my machine with
Aurifil thread, since it’s very strong with low lint and can handle all my chain piecing. Plus, it’s offered in a wide variety of colors so I can always match my fabrics.
Pinning equals perfect points! I simply pin at every intersection which makes my points precise.
Chain Piecing helps to reduce thread waste and makes for a quicker block!
I hope you find these tips helpful when sewing your Sawtooth Stars for your Sweet Stars Quilt!
Thanks for stopping by, everyone! Happy Quilting!
