Eleanor Burns has quilt printed fusible interfacing and Quilt Smart is fusible interfacing with the design printed on it. I have used the printed grid fusible interfacing for a watercolor quilt. It was a pain to use.

I have looked on internet for both of the above. Thanks very much it was helpful.

An excellent resource that details many variations and answers questions posed in this discussion is Jane Hall's 2006 book: "Experts' Guide to Foundation Piecing" You might check for a library copy. A Google preview can be seen here:

In full disclosure, yes, I wrote a chapter. As did others including Carol Doak, Judy Mathieson and Peggy Martin.

I cannot believe this. I have a copy of this book lying at the bottom of my books. When i saw the picture i remember buying it years ago when i first started paper piecing and everything looked so DAUNTING. Now that i have more experience, i am going to go through it with a fine tooth comb. I saw your page. So exciting to be corresponding with someone who is in a quilting book. FANTASTIC. Thank you very much for answering and reminding me about the book.

This looks so wonderful. Well done. Would like to see a close up of it if possible. I have made my 2 daughters 21st quilts and my third daughter i would like to do paper piecing. The first was victorian (first every quilt) 80% hand pieced, second one was applique (first time also).

Newbie here, I am hoping to use fusible interfacing instead of papers in the making of a Mariner's Compass block as in the video spoken about above. The printed on interfacing sold by Quilt Smart is for a very large one, I only want to make one 12" block.

So my thought is to trace a pattern from a book on foundation piecing onto the fusible webbing and proceed from there as in the video. I have never paper pieced a Compass either, is it the same method or is it something completely different?

Thanks so much in advance for any help on this matter!

That is interesting. With doing PP, I think I would prefer the freezer paper since you want to remove all of the paper before quilting.
