    I'm looking for a paper piecing pattern for a simple five-point star in a plain block. Does it have to be made in segments and then joined? Or is there a way to do the whole thing from one pattern?

    I've just bought a crinkle finish 128 (born in 1941). It needs rewiring, so I was thinking about putting on a hand crank and figured I'd have to sacrifice the bentwood case.
