one more important thing is a good lamp to see through the paper where to place the next piece of fabric. If that doesnt work put pins through the beginning and ending of the acording line to see where to attach the next piece of fabric. If it gets even trickier sew the line without fabric on the back, put the fabric in place and sew the exact same line.
If you are afraid of paper piecing just try it out. It is so simple. To sew the pp blocks together is a bit more difficult but I am not even a year into quilting so you can do it too!
