I like to paper piece! I do both kinds (foundation and English). For foundation paper piecing I like Carol Doak designs. For English paper piecing paperpieces.com is a good source for patterns and the little precut paper pieces.

Rubia, I was a complete novice and went to a one-off quilting class where I was able to get the lady who owned the shop to coach me. I only needed an hour or so and I knew all I needed to know! I don't think I would have learnt so quickly from a book or online tutorial - I'm the kind of learner who needs to be shown how to do it, then do it myself, and be able to ask questions! But it's really not difficult - and gives great results.

I love paper piecing. I don't have to worry about cutting my pieces perfect.

I love paper piecing.

I've only done a few but they were years ago, I do remember enjoying it though.

I would like to thank the person who gave me the link I found a book on Sun Bonnet Sue/Overal Bill in PP also everyone for their coments on PP. Thanks again Carhop

I'd like to learn paper piecing. What are some good places to find free patterns and tutorials? Thank you,

I envy you gals for being able to paper piece. I have tried and tried and have had many teachers who have tried to help me. I am left-handed and dyslexic, so it does seem that this something I cannot do. Will try again in a class in guild this fall. Wish me luck!

I've never given a thought to "handedness". It does make things interesting. I'll ask a quilting friend who is a lefty and paper pieces if she does anything different. I know when she demos things that occasionally she will say "don't do like me I'm a lefty" so maybe there IS some trick that she's devised.

I also PP and learned from Carol Doak. Mostly I have used newsprint that comes in large pads from an office supply store. I use a dull blade and cut 8 1/2 x 11 sheets and put them in my printer. I just figured out that when it comes time to remove the paper, a light misting of water with an atomizer, will cause it to almost fall out. It is my favorite kind of piecing.
