Glad no one can see how red my face is that I don't know this! :thumbdown:
Paper Piecing is a foundation that you keep adding pieces and folding it over and add more to create a block.

English paper piecing is when you wrap a stiff piece of paper with fabric and then line up another piece of paper with fabric. You connect them by WHIP STITCHING. This is done by hand.

You can see several photos of how this done when typing in English Paper Piecing on you search engine.

Hope this somewhat explains!!!
