Flying Geese
#1
Hi,
Today I have been attempting to make a star block which uses several flying geese units to make the 8 pointed star. Flying geese are proving to be a challenge to say the least. Is there an easy way to make consistent units of these blocks?
Thanks

When I do my flying geese, I draw a line from one cornor to the other on the small square. This really helps in sewing a straight line. I have a nice machine with all the ruler lines on it and drawing the line is still the best way for me to go. Also, I have a small piece of cardboard and wrapped it in 220 gauge sandpaper. I put my pieces to be drawn on this and it grips the fabric just enough and you have a nice straight line.
Here's a link that will give you different options in making them:

Instead of pinning the squares to make the corners, just tough them with a little tad of fabric glue. Put the glue in the corner that will be cut off.
You can also make flying geese with 2 half square triangles sewn together.
