Anyone Ever Use Muslin or a Fabric for Paper Piecing???
#1
Was wondering Has anyone ever used Muslin or Fabric as a replacement for Paper in Paper piecing??? I bought some Old Blocks and they have muslin in them and left in the quilt block,I'm gonna try this. I do the Longarm quilting but the piecing and especially PP is a Foreign Thing to Me!!!

I use very thin interfacing, and leave it in. It's much easier and has no effect on the finished blocks.
The most common complaint about pp is having to remove the paper, so if you can skip that part, it's a breeze! :-)

you can see thru vellum and it removes with ease.
i use the interfacing when its non-traditional quilt fabric (basically anything that isn't 100% cotton) to help stabilize the fabric and prevent stretch and distortion.

I did a BOM quilt that was almost entirely foundation piecing. The foundation is a thin muslin with the printed lines on it and it is not removed. It does make the quilt heavier so a thin batting is good with it.
Also not recommended for hand quilting, obviously. :wink:
