I love paper piecing. I just use plain old copy paper, the cheaper the better and shorten my stitches to 1.5 on my machine.

I love PP. Check out Cindy Edgerton's site..................www.averyspecialcollection.com. Her patterns are gorgeous!!!!!

Awesome! Paper piecing is cool. I am planning to make a few big pp'd projects next year...
It is really cool. I think it's one of those things that once you get it, you love it... but while you are learning to do it and it hasn't clicked yet, you are frustrated beyond belief. I'm glad you stuck through the learning curve :) |

I like paper piecing, it is so exact. What I didn't like, was the removing the bits of paper after you sew. My sewing room floor looked like the day after New Year's Eve. Does anyone have a better way to remove the paper?

I'm new to paper piecing and purchased Carol Doak's Beginner CD..It's well worth the money.....Lots of good tips on this CD....She's fabulous and her website is great as well....

I am really glad that so many of us like paper piecing, personally I will likely never do it again, even when I look at all the clever items others have made. And isn't it a good thing we don't all like the same thing, who wants to live in a cookie cutter world. piecefully, the old one

Paper piecing is great for mini quilts and all their tiny little pieces. Save all scraps for this technique!

I am so envious of you and your sister sewing together! I tried to get one of my sister's interested but she just keeps saying she isn't talented enough. .. ~Sigh~ Guess I will just have to sew by myself. I also want to learn paper piecing as well. I am so glad to hear it is fun!
