Never heard of it. Not sure how that would be quicker....

Sounds great; however when I do PP I am so intimidated by the whole process I don't know if I could do this. My PP turn out so nicely I think I'll stick to the slow way. Thank you for the info. If Judy Niemeyer does it then it must be good. If the wizard of PP does it then it must be good. She is so good it is scary.

I also heard to use 12 old phone book pages and zigzag around the edges (with thread) to make a packet before the actual unthreaded stitching. I haven't ever done paper piecing-do want to do it one of these days...

And yes, I would stack the paper and sew through all the layers. At least I found the needed fabric in my stash all but one to do these blocks. I need to go buy batik dark purple--my fav. color. LOL really it is. I thought I had enough of one piece I am presently working with but I don't. Oh whoa is me, I have to go to the fabric store!

I do this all the time. I use velum paper as it is easy to tear and has a good body to it when you are folding to do your stitching.
