With invisible thread in the needle and a bobbin thread to match the background, attach the Centre Circle using a straight stitch with a 1/8 seam allowance & stitch around the centre of the circle. Set the machine to zig zag with the needle just catching the blades on one swing and the background on the other, taking a few stitches in place at the point of each blade. This will give it an invisible and like it was hand done. Turn your machine speed down until you are confident. (refer to Attaching the Blades Video ) Press well.

Align the centre of one of the half circles with the press marks on the background triangle and pin the centre blade first, the place a pin at every point. (picture 4 below left & 5 below right) Repeat for the remaining Three Triangles.
Attach the Circles as you have attached the Centre Circle, using straight stitch with a 1/8 seam allowance along the edges & inside the circle & a zig zag for the blades. (refer to Attaching the Blades video) Press well. Repeat until all four triangles are attached.

NB: You cannot ditch stitch the Blades as the seams have been pressed open; therefore if you stitched in the ditch you would be stitching on the thread not the fabric.

The Following are Optional Steps: Step Eleven: Attaching a Hanging Sleeve:
Preferable use the same fabric as the Backing Fabric If the Wall Hanging is larger than 40 in width you will require two sleeves. One Sleeve: Cut a piece 9 X the width of Wall Hanging less 3 Eg) If the Wall Hanging is 30 wide the Hanging Sleeve is cut at 27 Two Sleeves: Cut a piece 9 X the width of Wall Hanging less 5 & cut in half. Eg) If the Wall Hanging is 50 wide the Hanging Sleeve is cut at 45 then in half so you have two pieces 9 X 22 Double Hem the two short ends. Fold in & lightly press. Open out & fold raw edges into the centre press marks, wrong sides together, and right sides out & press again. (picture 1 bottom middle)
Using a Foot, join the two raw edges wrong sides together, backstitching at both ends. (picture 2 right) Keeping the original cresses in place, press the seam open. The Hanging Sleeve is now ready to attach. One Sleeve: Making sure you attach the Hanging Sleeve to the top of the Wall Hanging, find the centre of both the sleeve & quilt, placing one of the press folded edges directly under the binding pin the sleeve to the quilt. Pin the rest of the sleeve on ensuring the open seam; is flat against the back of the quilt & you have a hump in front this enables a rod to slide through easily & makes it hard to detect when hanging. NB: The Hanging Sleeve should not go all the way to the sides, allowing room for the rod to be hidden from view. (picture 3 bottom right)
Two Sleeves: Making sure you attach the Hanging Sleeve to the top of the Wall Hanging, find the centre of quilt, measure back 1 either side & place a registration pin. Following the method above attach the Hanging Sleeves starting at the registration pins going to the outside; this enables you to place a hook in the centre for extra stability when hanging your quilts.
