How did I come to this? ( me with the 9 block maximum mentality). A Hunter's Star quilt has taken over my sewing room and heart. It will be glorious gorgeous. However. Somehow. There are 392 HSTs to survive. Now and again, the SM needle would stuff the leading corners of the HST and cram them down in the hole. And - I realized that I was going to put my antique back into permanent warp and actually removed the knee-lift from the SM. Strange. No more cramming. Maybe the knee-lift was letting me start a thread or two into the corner and cause the cramming. Doing without it, somehow, the occasional ker-splat ceased. Can't explain that one. But. If this Hunter's Star is going to become a quilt, I need help. Do you have any suggestions on chain-piecing? Please get me through this before I die of hum-drum. Polly
