I read 'somewhere' about this paper piecing technique. You app. have to place the patches on the paper, than fold it very precise and sew. It seems to be a fast, eccurate was of sdewing small pieces.
One of the books about this is Miniatures in Minutes, and part of it can be read in Google Books http://books.google.nl/books?id=Rr7q...page&q&f=false I wonder if someone here has already sewn this way? |
I've heard of it.

I have done this, but not on paper,I did it on muslin,didnt have to remove it after I was done,it was the foundation for the block
|
Great technique
|
Yes, I have done this using freezer paper. First, I draw the pattern on the freezer paper and perforate the pattern using an old needle. It makes folding the paper back much easier. To sew ALONG the paper edge, I use the zipper foot and move the needle as close to the edge as possible. Great method!

Oh, my! A celebrity in our midst!!!
Anita, thanks for speaking up. It's kinda surreal to "meet" someone who's been on Simply Quilts. It's how I started piecing things in earnest! :D |
I have two quilts started using paper piecing. It is fun and quick and you can get a couple quilt blocks done in an evening. The points are pointy and it is a very accurate block when completed.

Ah Miss Anita, yes you did invent that. I've read your book on it and love it!
