I used this tutorial and it was a simple as could be --> http://www.twiddletails.com/store/in...age=page&id=21
I pieced together a block that I designed for my partner in the block swap. It was a lot of fun and I'm really pleased with how it came out. So great to learn a new (for me! :) ) technique! |
I like paper piecing with freezer paper as you don't have to tear the darn paper off. I used it making a quilt design called Venice Rose. Thanks for sharing.

Never used freezer paper. U dont take paper off!? I used putter paper.
|
Does freezer paper dissolve when you wash it? I might have to try it with paper piecing!
|
I just use printer paper then run something that has a point like a point turner along the seam to help break the paper more.
|
This is an interesting method of foundation piecing I will have to try. Thanks for sharing.

Thankyou so much for the link. I have been trying to wrap my head around this for a couple of days, and I think the light bulb just clicked. Thankyou
|
I love paper piecing....until it is time to remove the paper. LOL. I will have to try this method. Thanks for sharing.

I thought I'd given up on pp-ing but maybe I'll try this method too. I WANT to like pp-ing but just never have yet.
Just FYI, I found this about freezer paper shrinking a bit on another website: "On HGTV's Simply Quilts website, I found the episode that Sharon Schamber appeared in (QLT-1004). It does say that freezer paper shrinks in the WIDTH, but it doesn't say how much. It also says to pre-shrink it with starch and an iron." |

When I first saw this tutorial, I thought it looked complicated and wasn't going to try it. But then I had an idea for a block I wanted to make so decided to give it a try. I'm such a hands-on learner- I just followed the directions one step at a time and before I was halfway through the block I didn't need the directions any more! It really was very simple. |
Have downloaded the tutorial. Will definitely have to try this technique. Thanks for posting it.

Thank you for sharing this site!

I have a friend that has completed a full size quilt using this method. She said that she will Never go back to the regular method. I have to try this the next time I do a PP project. For me the worse part of PP is taking the paper off when the block is finished. Takes longer than the sewing does...

I had a book explain it, but really understood after taking a class. As you said, once you have done a few folds, you understand the concept. I like it to because you are just folding back the ironed on paper and sewing on the edge. I sure does make it easier than through the paper and then tearing it off.
