I took a paper piecing class and was not liking it and said I had a headache just to get out of there. I went home instead of staying for the rest of the class. That was about three years ago. Recently my mentor here on the board sent me Carol Doak's DVD on paper piecing and I made two blocks. I love it now. Now I wish I would not have faked a headache and stayed and learned how to paper piece. But I am learning now. It is fun now. I really enjoy how clean the lines are. My blocks are perfect!! I bought two of Carol's books so I can make some more blocks. I am taking the Craftsy class on paper piecing also. I want to do New York Beauties very much so.
