Welcome to the Quilting Board!

I prefer paper-piecing myself. I tried using strips and the quilt turned out wavey.
I will precut my strips and then piece them in by strip quilting - as many sewn as possible in one long continuous piece. I want my 4" strips to be 4", not give or take a bit as determined by the feed dogs of the machine.

I do mine the same way.
Eleanor burns way!
I second that!Originally Posted by jaciqltznok
I agree with jackie, PP is to time consuming for me since it is a simple block, and individual pieces to me leads to error, I do the eleanor burns method and just square up at each step making it way more accurate
The only way I do it.
Happy Quilting.
I totally agree, eleanor burns way
do you have a book or video of that method?
