[I]took my first paper piecing class last week with Linda Hahn and her New York Beauty. It took about 45 minutes to "get" flipping the paper over, but after that-everyone left early because they got it. Its copied on a the green packaged
foundation paper from EQ7, it stays in the quilt- feels like a very soft interfacing. I was so excited I already have my fabric picked out for the next one. There is waste with them, but she has patterns for the mini versions that the scraps work perfect with. You use ONE pin, and nobody messed up. It's a great technique. I'm very interested to learn about Carol Doak's technique and see the difference. I am a new quilter, too. I say give it another shot after stepping away, but someone else s technique may work better for you!
