    I've taken 4 paper piecing classes on craftsy. All were good but if you are only
    going to take one I would recommend either Mastering Foundation Paper Piecing or Quick Strip Paper Piecimg.

    It can be a little tricky to master (not that I'm a master!) but before looking as special techniques (i.e. freezer paper method) get the basic method down first. Carol Doak is a great place to start. However, be careful...it's addicting!
    Good luck!

    I learned paper piecing through reading blogs and free youtube videos, plus advice from experienced paper piecers on Quiltingboard. Oh, should add AND... trial and lots of errors. Some even had to go in the garbage. I love paper piecing!

    There are a lot of different ways to paper piece. The best is the basic way taught by Carol Doak. You will have the basics learned and that will help you explore the other ways. I have tried about every new paper piecing technique there is but always come back to the basic.

    I paperpiece a lot, and I use the Twiddletails method, too, and would never go back to tearing off paper again. But Susiesew might be right about learning the basic method first. I used the traditional method for a while before I stumbled upon the freezer paper method, and it might have helped me understand the concept better. Or who knows? I might have been fine with the freezer paper from the beginning.

    I bought the craftsy class with Carol Doak. Love it. You can watch the parts you don"t "get" any time 24/7. She is very clear. I got it when they had a sale.

    I'm a carol Doak fan...before watching her DVD I hated pp! Now, altho it's not my favorite thing to, I now at least can do it correctly. I only do it if I really like the pattern enough to "think backwards" and pp( my opinion). Actually working on one now...hadn't done one since last year, so I really had to dust off the brain cells...but after the first one..all ok

    I have both of Carol Doak's classes and Peggy Martin's. They are both excellent teachers for paper piecing. Love their teaching methods, very clear and detailed. Enjoy!
