Mariners compass.
I am doing this using foundation piecing, I am really struggling!!!!
|
Do you have a question for us? I made these using the freezer paper piecing method. You said you are doing foundation piecing, does that mean using fabric for the foundation material?
|
I paper pieced my NY Beauty blocks. Once I got the hang of it and in a rhythm it wasn't so bad. Are you having a particular problem? Or just struggling in general?
|
There is a wonderful video made showing exactly how to do pp. sorry no name or help. As I have lost it as my iPad has been playing up.
|
Did you take on a bigger challenge than you feel you can handle?? Tell us what the problems is and we can help you thru the process. You are not alone. I have been struggling to make a gift for the bank manager at my Credit Union. She is from England and I thought a mug rug of the Union Jack would be simple. YIKES !! I am on my second top because of fabric bleeding and I must have it done by Wednesday. I HATE deadlines !! So know you are NOT alone !! :)
