I am so excited. I went on Ebay looking for a Carol Doak Paper Piecing DVD. There were many for 19.99 no shipping, which was not a bad deal, but there was one from the UK for $3.00, US would be $5.39. It said brand new no shipping and they had several. So I decided what the heck, I would see what happens. Well I ordered it on the 17th came today and it is brand new. I was a little leary thought it might come in a foreign language,:lol: .

So this is my find, for the month.

I remember you posting about this earlier, so glad to see your reply - and that it's a positive one. I just have to ask tho, have you tried playing it yet? I sure hope all is well. It just sounds like one of those "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is" things.

I have played it all the way through. Love it, I will not be hesitant to try paper piecing now. It is so thorough and she really makes it simple to understand.

Thanks SO much!! I just ordered myself one, too! A dear friend of mine sent me her Book for my birthday last year. I think this DVD will really help me to better understand the process. :thumbup:

Much appreciated!!

I learned more from her DVD then any book or pictures about how to paper piece. Once you actually see it done it's an eye opener.

shaverg 01-28-2010 05:03 AM

I kept hearing how easy it is and when you see her video, you realize it really is.

Did everyone in the US read the warning about the DVD at the UK site having different formatting? You may want to check your dvd software for compatability before you jump on that bargain.

shaverg 01-28-2010 09:31 AM

I have played it, it is exactly the same. Works on my PC with XP, plays on my windows media program. You can always email them with questions before ordering.

I saw that, too, but I have never tried paper piecing. I have wanted to but it looks like a lot of work and itty bitty pieces. Have you tried it yet?

sounds like a good deal to me.

gramfel 02-05-2010 11:27 AM

Glad I could share the info and you got it. I just got my second one that I am giving for a gift.

It is really detailed. I think anyone could PP using her DVD.
