Only Embroidery blocks from me. If I don't have the design you want it's cheaper for me to buy it than waist all of this fabric trying to get these blocks right. So Thank you for letting me vent. I'm so mad at myself right now.

I like the 1/4" foot with the guide, and then set my Bernina one click to the right - takes a teen tiny less of a seam, not enough to make a difference in points but adds up when you have a lot of seams. And QuilterMomma is right on with her suggestion.
If you're not using a 1/4" foot--get one. Best investment I ever made.

I got my blocks from austraila immemother. They were perfect for my batik star quilt, AND they were perfectly made. They grow those quilters downunder with super miracle grow. LOL
Thank you Immemother.
Also got an extra star from fromzstore and crafty....
Wait until you see my southseas Batik Star quilt.

Try this - works for me --iron from the front AND THEN the back of the block. When you iron on the front, iron at the seam going over it and pushing it nice and smooth. while GENTLY putting a bit of pressure on the fabric and pulling it gently away from the way the iron is moving.
All of the suggestion are right on,but here is on more,make sure you iron your seams,and do it carefully,I think ironing is one of the most important steps,alot of people can just finger press, I can't I IRON.
