    Peggy Martin's Quick-Strip Paper Piecing technique totally eliminates the need for tedious precision cutting as well as the confusing upside-down stitching required with traditional foundation paper piecing.
    This is not paperless paper piecing, but is a great class if one wants to try paper piecing. I'm most of the way thru it and it is worth the money!

    the technique they are calling the paperless paper piecing is what is use and I love it. Prior to discovering this technique I hated paper piecing but now I enjoy the process. Not afraid to attempt a paper pieced pattern now.

    Here it is!! I never do it any other way. If I'd learned the method of having to rip the paper off, I wouldn't be doing any paper piecing! Its the mainstay of my Dear Jane.

    Never regret growing older, its a privilege denied to many.
    Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

    Wow! I think I'll try this. I really enjoy pp anyway. This looks like it would just as much fun but no paper to rip out. Can't wait!!

    Here's another link to a well known quilter who employs this method.

    May your stitches always be straight, your seams always lie flat, and your grain never be biased against you.

    After watching the "twiddletails" method, thanks, but no thanks, I will cheerfully tear off the paper.

    I'm not a paper piecer. But, my MIL used to use dryer sheets. She would sew on the first piece. Then she would sew the next piece on top of it face down, then flip over. Then sew on the next piece. Hope this helps.
