People have mentioned that there is a Carol Doaks book out that would be perfect for me to learn paper piecing with. Does anyone know exactly which book this is so I can purchase the correct one? I do so want to learn paper piecing and the tuts I've seen so far just don't cut it.

Also, anyone know a good way for me to learn how to do flying geese? Dummy me needs step by step directions ... down to what size to cut the blocks ... to learn how.

Thanks for all your help ahead of time.

Show Me How To Paper Piece by carol doak helped me. i need to see good detail. Ran a beginner tulip pattern from website and followed directions in book . came out nice. Also , I ordered it from Amazon. Check their prices before u order.

Here is a link to the method I use for Flying Geese: http://www.patchpieces.com/files/flyinggeese.pdf

I always have to figure out the math depending on what size block I'm after. The link above gives you the formula to figure it out.

Now I found a site with some of the measurements done for you: http://schools.utah.gov/cte/document...lyingGeese.pdf

There is also a dvd on ebay, but you have to go to the uk ebay site. The dvd is wonderful. I paid $5 total, it is brand new and works on all DVD. People warned me that it might not work, it works fine. I will see if I can find the link. I have order 4 of them for friend and Stummel, who I am mentoring order one too.

Found it, Here it is. Free Shipping, you can't beat it. It comes to about $5 US. This DVD is 19 at JoAnns

You might want to check out your library. I get a lot of references from there and if I really, really like them, I go buy my own. Carol Doak seems to explain the process so well that it's easy.

I think all of Carol Doak's paper piecing book have good instructions. Some of her books are out of print now. I still have a couple that I am selling.

Here is another link for flying geese. http://www.quilterscache.com/H/Howtomakegeese.html

Any of Carols book/dvd combos should help you, they are wonderful for learning PP :D:D:D

Paper-piecing flying geese is quick and easy.
There are also some wonderful rulers made just for making flying geese. The no math ruler is great,and E. Burns has one.

Carol Doaks dvd is the best for learning how to paper piece. You see it done step by step from start to finish.

Just pick one that appeals to you. With Carol Doak you can't go wrong.

Thank you shaverg for the DVD link.
