visit the Carol Doak website & print off a few free paper pieced blocks- follow along her tutorials, hints, tips and do some- some of us LOVE paper piecing- other people hate it- only you can decide which person you are. I would try out a few before spending money on a kit. Carol is considered a Queen of Paper Piecing and is a great teacher for anyone wanting to learn the technique- but as with any new technique you need to (get the hang of it) before attacking something big & expensive.
