Another foot that is very helpful to me is the "stitch in the ditch" foot, which really works nice to keep you stitches in the ditch, not allowing them to jump up to the other side of the seam. I may not have explained that very well.... so go look up 'Stitch in the Ditch" foot, and "Quarter Inch" foot. those will make your quilt making a lot more fun and easy.

I hope that helps some.

I use a 1/4" foot and it doesn't matter what foot you use with paper piecing. You just stitch the lines. I have made hundreds of quilters cache patterns and this is the first time this happen to me.
