New to the board
I am new to the board as of today and fairly new to quilting, 1 quilt in the last 10 years. I am interested in paper piecing, is it for beginners?
|
it's for beginners but do not think it will be quick... every time i decide to do it again for the 'tiny, detailed' capabilities, i get frustrated and do something else.. it takes a long time to do one block.... not for me, but you might love it...

Welcome from Indiana! I like paper piecing too! Don't get discouraged and you can find lots of tutorials on the internet as well as free patterns. Take it slow and don't give up too quickly, you will really appreciate the sharpness of your points. Paper piecing is the only way I can do a log cabin block and not have it come out wonky!!!

Some paper piecing is, the hexagons I love and have done it often. That's what I started on and like to do because you can take them anywhere, such as Doctors offices and do it while you wait.

Welcome from Ontario, Canada. There are beginner paper pieced patterns. Start there and soon you will be surprised at how quickly you can move to more advanced patterns once you have the basics mastered.

Welcome from Texas! I enjoy paper piecing--it's just different and a break from traditional piecing, plus you can get some great block designs that you can't get with traditional piecing. Don't make the mistake that I did and start out with something too tiny and complicated.

Welcome to the Board. It's amazing. I haven't done much paper piecing - I'm still learning. There is so much knowledge and talent on this board - you can't help but learn something.
