Here is a Paper Piecing tutorial link, I like tutorials, you can 'see' how it's done, not just instructions. Hope this helps. I'm just learning PP myself, and the main point, keeping fabrics strait to each 'piece', so I started coloring in my pattern so I pick up the right color fabric each time, saves mistakes. Then I also hold it up to a window to 'see' through the paper to aliegn the fabric, remembering to put the fabric below the stitch line, when you turn it over and iron it 'right' it will be in the right place. Always follow each piece in numerical order, as it gets the pattern right, out of order, big mistakes. Then I use a 1/4" add on ruler before I iron, place it along the seam, trim off excess, then press to the right direction. Do not remove the paper at the end until you've trimmed around the block following the pattern as guide. If you keep your stitch length short, the paper perferates easier for tearing off at the end. Hope these tips help. Debbie D
