Finally get "foundation piecing"!
#1
I finally understand foundation (paper ) piecing! Have C. Doak's book and tried with it many times I but learn better from watching a demonstration. I found the Connecting Threads video about paper piecing on you tube and began to understand the concept as I watched. The lady explains it really well. You can watch it over and over to really understand it. I made a paper pieced block yesterday and am amazed at how fast it went together. I printed the pattern from my E7. I think I will only paper piece from now on. I found that there is very little waste of fabric with this method. I love it... If you are trying to learn paper piecing, I recommend watching the Connecting Threads video.... Good luck!

It is so fun, fast and very rewarding as everything comes out perfectly! All points on point and blocks and triangles straight! It's amazing and I can do it! I am not good with cutting accurately so this works much better for me...

Im doing my first pping now and am surprised how easy it is. I was hesitant about doing it because it really looked difficult. I looked at some video's on youtube too and was impressed how easy it is. Would love to see it when your done. :)

Yes, I confirm all the others. Just take practice & a different way of thinking. It's so fun to watch people's faces when they see all those tiny pieces. I just finished one for Christmas that had 186 tiny pieces-the finished quilt is 12" square! I would attach a picture, but don't know how. -any advice?
