Octagon—8"™
Rotary cut the accent strip on both sides
Sew the folded strip using ⅛".
Sew the strips to the octagon in their numbered order.
To accurately cut the ends of each piece, line up the outside edges of the Starmaker 8 with the outside edges of the fabric octagon.
Cut a piece of Static Sticker 1¼" x 5" wide.On the Starmaker 8, mark the seamline between the octagon and the #1 strip using this piece of Static Sticker. Cut just the right hand side of the #1 strip along the sides of the Starmaker 8. Do not cut along the left hand side, which is not yet sewn.As you cut the ends of each of these #1 pieces, the combination of using the Starmaker 8 to get accurate angles and the Static Sticker on the seamline will insure each of the pieces is cut the same.
As you add more border strips, if the Static Sticker does not line up on the seamline, you can fix the problem before continuing on. Usually it is caused by a different width seam allowance or a strip that is cut the wrong width.
Sew a dark strip to the #2 side of the octagon to the right side of the top edge, following the numbered diagram on page 1.
Press the seam allowances toward the strip.
Line up the outside edges of the Starmaker 8 with the outside edges of the octagon and the first border strip #1,
The Static Sticker should be on the seamline between the octagon and strip #2.
Trim both ends of this #2 dark strip along the sides of the Starmaker 8.
Sew a light #3 strip to the side of the octagon.
Press the seam allowances toward the strip.
Line up the outside edges of the Starmaker 8 with the outside edges of the octagon.
Cut both ends of the strip.
