Prairie Pointer

I have to brush up on my making of two color prairie points for a demo I will be doing the first week in May. Please bear with me as I use you as my audience and work out my speal. I will be demoing Susan Cleaveland's Prairie Pointer! It is a cool tool that I like to use. Keep in mind this tool does not come with a ribbon in punched out circle ,however she does advise putting one there to pull out tool from under iron.  It does get hot!! The cardboard insert does have directions inside to help you follow up and with design ideas. I picked out two fabrics and cut them each 2 1/2 " wide , I choose this width by the chart given.  I know from experience that  I will get a 2" wide prairie point.  The chart says I will get a 2 1/4" one , but I do something a little different that makes things easier for me.  You will be using a 1/4" seam allowance and sewing them together (only one side). You will then iron them with seam going to one side.  Once that...
