How to Sew Quilt Fairy Dreams Block 8

It is time for November’s Quilt Fairy Dreams Block of the Month! Block 8 is a large star with a double pinwheel center, framed by banded flying geese and tidy little cornerstone four patches. In the video, Angela walks you through a clever “combo unit” method that keeps your colors in the same position every time, a smart trimming strategy for accuracy, and simple pressing tricks that help your seams nest and your center lay nice and flat.

Piecing on the Baby Lock Chorus

block 8 was pieced on the Baby Lock Chorus, a feature-packed sewing and quilting machine designed to make accuracy effortless. It includes a built-in needle beam and guide that let you sew perfect diagonals without marking, along with a hover function that keeps the needle down while slightly lifting the presser foot for smooth chain piecing. The machine also features manufacturer-recommended piecing & quilting stitches (look for the “P” and “Q” icons) and an easy one-touch needle threader that saves time with every start and stop. We currently have one floor model Chorus available at a special price we can’t advertise. Contact us for details.
