I have some questions for you "Paper Piecing Pro's". I haven't done pp in many years, but back then really enjoyed the perfect results. I only did a few small projects. I am doing a block of the month right now with 6" blocks, and some of them are very intricate, so I drew them out on EQ6 and printed for PP. I am having a horrible time with it. How do you cut pieces for pp? Do you have to cut every piece individually? That takes forever. I am doing all the processes right, but I am ending up with too small seam allowances. I feel like I am cutting pieces a lot bigger than it should take, but obviously I am not. How do you figure out how much yardage to get. It seems like there will be a lot of waste. I have ripped out more doing these little pieces than in doing the last 4 big quilts I've done!! Help!!
