Part 2 of our little hand piecing movie is ready, and it looks great “full screen.”

Perfect Intersections Every Time!
In only 4 minutes, you will see how you can have perfect intersections by:
- “circling the intersection”
- pressing the seam allowances around the center
(clockwise or counterclockwise)
Thank you very much for the lovely comments on Part 1.
If you have arrived here first, this is what you have been missing:
- how I printed identical diamonds with Inklingo
- Part 1 movie (6 minutes) and written instructions
- 2 inch diamonds
- other shapes which you can use for Kaleidoscope effects: Index of Shapes
(Hint: You can start with the the 45-degree Diamonds in the FREE Shape Collection and make 8 pointed stars instead of 6 pointed stars.) - Fussy Cutting Checklist (PDF)
Monkey says these two little movies show you everything you need to know to start hand piecing stars in only ten minutes (6 + 4)! Just watch! Very simple.
With this new camera setup, you can see what I see when I am hand piecing. There is no “voiceover,” so you don’t need to turn on your speakers, but if you do, you will hear Vadim Chaimovich playing Haydn’s Sonata No. 12 in G Major from MusOpen.
You can also search the blog archives for messages about fussy cutting, hand piecing, or any other topic. There is a Search box above the header.
If you know anyone who would like to have an exciting portable project, please let them know about our little movies.
I am also using this camera setup for machine piecing with Inklingo, so stay tuned! (That means subscribe, eh? Right sidebar.)
Do you know what I would like to be doing right now?
Thank you for visiting.

New to Inklingo? Order and download free shapes and start sewing in the next few minutes. Quick Start (Always FREE.) There are triangles, diamonds, and squares in the free collection—great for dozens of different blocks.
I’m glad you watched it full screen, Cathi. That is the benefit of HD cameras. Once I figure out how to do it, everything is clearer.
Let me know what fabric you choose, okay? I am always on the look-out for suitable ones.
Hi Nancy! I am very pleased that you found the little movie helpful! Thank you for letting me know. There will be more little videos soon too.
Love the effect of the kaleidoscope stars so much that I think I’ll just have to stop what I’m working on and find a piece of fabric that will work well and give that effect!
The video is incredibly clear, even at full screen! Beautiful!!
Thank you so much for the video. You so clearly demonstrated one of my biggest problems – the joining of the two halves without the dreaded hole in the middle. Thank you again so very much! The only thing keeping me from going right to my printer is the need for a new ink cartridge. That will have to wait until the next paycheck but then I will be wonderfully busy sewing my Inklingo printed pieces.

I’m glad you like it, Laura. This is such a cool little technique, I want everyone to know about it. 🙂
Great little movie! As they say…a picture is worth a thousand words and you show Inklingo so well! Thank you for the demonstration!
