I agree. You don't need a class. I taught myself to paperpiece by watching free videos. About 99% of my patterns I have gotten free off the internet. I save them to my computer and mix and match them for the projects I want to create. I haven't created my own pp patterns yet. However, I feel I am on the verge of doing that some day IF I ever find the time.
Here are two doll quilts I created with free patterns.
You can learn it. :-D

Flower, Trees, Houses and the 5 Fly Geese are PP and mixed with other blocks.

Quilter's Cache is the BEST. They have lots of free paper piecing patterns there and even a tutorial and practice pattern. It is where I learned to paper piece. They even had an airplane pattern for my daughter and her special fella. I have a lot of their patterns (paper piecing and reqular). Love them. Give them a look in.

Her books and DVD's are great! PP has some differences from regular piecing and it helps me to watch how it is done then try it myself. I made some mistakes the first time but after that the process made sense. I wish you were closer and I would invite you to come and watch the DVD with me and hlp you with your first project.
:D

I agree that Carol Doak is the BEST! She made a presentation at our guild a couple years ago, and I have most of her books. Definitely go to her website. She even has a yahoo group that you can join. You can also email her for help.
Keep us informed and good luck.
