Does anyone have a good technique for placing irregular elements in foundation piecing? I have some experience with the method but one bit is proving really tricky.
I am working on the Take Wing pattern by Lillyella (
https://lillyella.com/2015/03/09/tak...now-available/) which I am really enjoying. The tricky bit is on the wing tip, which is made from a very irregular triangle. I have fabric with a specific part I want to include, but am getting very muddled with right side/wrong side/which way to flip etc. And being a butterfly, there's two wings so they need to mirror image each other.
Previously I have relied on the method outlined by Lee Heinrich (
https://weallsew.com/how-to-make-paper-piecing-easy/) - folding the paper back behind to make the correct placement. But the wing tips are deep in the middle of the unit so that method is no help.
It's embarrassing to admit how much time/fabric I've wasted but I'm really determined to solve this!
Many thanks
