How I match points on 45 Degree Diamonds - for lone star quilts, etc!

Matching points on 45 Degree Diamonds- such as those in lone star quilts - can be tricky. Here's how I match those points once I am at the stage of joining rows.
You will need a Frixion pen or air erasable/water erasable marker, plus a clear ruler and a flat headed pin for each seam you want to match.

I just started piecing my diamonds for a lonestar quilt. Your technic is perfect! Thank you so much!

This tutorial really helped me get my diamonds lined up perfectly! Also my first lone star quilt! Thanks so very much!!!

[@mjpinkstone4199]

OMG! You saved my quilt!! Well, you and my sister who found your video. I was sorely tempted to toss the whole thing. THANK YOU!!!

[@barbarawood28]

I spent yesterday trying to get points to match. I was ready to give up when I found your tutorial! Thank you so much for sharing something that works.

not making a quilt but a jacket with a diamond pattern made of different materials; this was super useful!! thanks!!

[@roseschovanec6706]

this video is the BEST! thank you! I'm no longer dreading working on my Tahoe pattern quilt. I'm enjoying it.

[@carltonbrown6189]

So brilliant. After I spent a weekend with hit and miss, this video really helped me! Thanks!

[@cecile862]

Thank you! I cut my pieces exactly. Usually cut a tad larger then pattern stipulates and square up after sewing. So this time I've really struggled. Your method has been a fantastic help. My diamonds have perfect points with evenly lined up fabric edges. For adding the next piece.

Agree with the others; this technique is point perfect! Thanks so much. Thankfully I found this after only sewing a few together. I will be seam ripping those out as the 1/4 inch was inconsistent. These are spot on! Thank you! Thank you!

Thanks for this wonderful tip. Starting a big quilt next with a very big star and feel more confident now.👍

[@judypolinski4864]

Totally worth the effort. Easier with less frustration! Thank you!!

[@rolla3001]

I started the lone star pattern this weekend and just spent the entire afternoon struggling to match those seams! Ripping and sewing and ripping and sewing. I knew there had to be a trick out there. This worked perfectly. Thank you so much!!

Thank you! I am also making the 3rd story workshop quilt and this is my first lone star quilt. This was VERY helpful!!

[@seasidestitches615]

Thank you. Clear, concise and skilful.

[@carmenbailey8209]

Love the Lone Star pattern and your colour choices 👍❤️😊

[@annaryan5701]

I do the same technique. Only I don't mark the fabric I just eyeball it. Comes out great everytime!

[@julieanderson2428]

Excellent!!! Thank you

[@kellieflores8657]

Thank you. Very helpful. Works like a charm!

[@dianecleversley8931]

Very helpful video!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@joandavis9070]

A bit of a tip for you - A spare bit of batting that you are going to toss anyway will wipe off chalk like a charm. I have stopped marking with frixion pens and have gone back to my Bohin chalk marker, which I love.

[@queenieirwin8437]

Thanks. Working on 1st 45 degree starburst strips. Appreciate the tips.

[@karenfranko3697]

Thank you thank you very much!! This technique worked perfectly!!

[@PennyDogPatchwork]

That's excellent thanks for letting me know!

[@reneesmith2665]

I like your video. I am new to sewing and would have loved to have seen how you cut the diamond and how you sewed each row. Maybe you could do a follow up video and show the other steps.

[@jerrybryson4649]

Great thank you🌷

[@giselakolossa7831]

Can you please point me in the right direction? I can't find your video on how to set properly the quarter of an inch in my machine.

[@PennyDogPatchwork]

If you mark with a ruler and then aim for the points as per this video you should be fine without worrying too much about it. This video might help though m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4qwhJZuadlll80
