The kaleidoscope star string pattern link is not available. Could you direct me to another link for the pattern?

Hi, Jobuds! Hmm, I'm not having any problems with the link. Let me try giving you a direct link: http://www.littlemissshabby.com/2012/08/string-star-tutorial/ . Hope that works! Happy quilting!

I tried to download the sewing machine paper piecing and it just gave me a runaround take me off this list if that's all you're about

You can find the link on the sewing machine's project page, and that should take you to where you can find the pattern (which opens as a PDF). Hope this helps! Kathryn, editor of FaveQuilts
