The best way to learn paper piecing is to use the Thangles papers. Then work up to more difficult patterns. Some shops use the Thangles to make 'buck a Block quilts. You pay a $1 (or more in some shops) and get two strips of fabric that you use with the Thangles to make a block. Next month you get more strips until you have enough blocks for your quilt. You can then purchase a finishing kit.
