I highly recommend Easy Machine Paper Piecing by Carol Doak! Her stuff is wonderful. She also has a Yahoo group. You could join if you had questions. It's a wonderful group of people.

What I wondered is what is paper piecing and why do it?

Thanks

Not something you do if you are busy doing several things at one time....but it is really fun once you get the hang of it...Remembering which side to sew on, where to place the fabric, etc...had a great teacher and group of gals to be with!!!
