    Hi there everyone. I love paper piecing and have only recently heard that you can iron your material onto fusible paper and then you stitch and iron onto your paper!!!???? I am confused by this. Is there anyone who knows how to do this as i am very interested as i feel that by doing it this way, your material will not stretch out of shape or be "loose" when folded and ready to add your next piece. I also feel that you do NOT HAVE extra wastage of material with unnessary cuttoffs. Appreciate your comments. My first request on this wonderful site.
    Happy sewing to you all out there.

    Newbie here, I am hoping to use fusible interfacing instead of papers in the making of a Mariner's Compass block as in the video spoken about above. The printed on interfacing sold by Quilt Smart is for a very large one, I only want to make one 12" block.

    So my thought is to trace a pattern from a book on foundation piecing onto the fusible webbing and proceed from there as in the video. I have never paper pieced a Compass either, is it the same method or is it something completely different?

    Thanks so much in advance for any help on this matter!

    That is interesting. With doing PP, I think I would prefer the freezer paper since you want to remove all of the paper before quilting.
