I take pattern ease and put it through my printer to get the designs and then go to sewing and I don't rip the pattern ease off when I am done it just stays. It is something I learned from the Dear Jane Quilt.

Have tried one wallhanging size project, and a few simple blocks ... but just
can't get the hang of doing everything upside down/backwards. However,
the prefectionist in me admires other quilter's work.

These are the 1st seven blocks in the Jinny's Garden pp quilt. Have some mistakes but I can live with all so far except for the flat tops on the crocus. I am going to correct it at some point. If you haven't see this quilt it has 4 blocks in the middle that have yellow and golds, the rest of the blocks I am using reds. Jinny used purples in her quilt. Will keep you posted as I go along.

I love PP and have been doing it for years. Years ago I made a full size Quilt all Paper pieced including the boarders. Use a smaller stitch when PP trears out a little easyer and some people spray the paper with water to get the paper off

You are not the only one I just do not like pp. I think I have a mental block for it.

I've been working on a pp mini. I had explanations and demos from the experienced ladies at my bee group. I still get confused but I'm ripping out less as I get better. How do I handle the bulk in the junctions? My sewing machine gets stuck when I try to sew over the seams.
