does any one paper piece if so do you have a good site to go to learn paper piece and do you think it is easy to learn been
reading about it and they say it is and that you can use very small scraps |
I've been looking into it also. It does look easy and you can find many sites and books on it, but I just haven't figured it out. I asked my LQS to do a class on it. I think they will very soon. Can't wait!

better than her book (Doak) get the DVD-so much easier to see her do it than read it!!!!! I too, was confused with it until I SAW the DVD and now I enjoy doing it......but there is definitely a learning curve.

The first time I tried it was with Carol Doak's book, Your First Quilt Book (or it should be) or something like that. Takes you step by step in making a heart wall hanging. I was so proud of myself for figuring it all out! Still hangs on my wall after many years!

carol doak- the queen of paper piecing- her tutorials, videos and tips will make a pro out of anyone in no time.

I only started to learn the technique this spring.
My first venture was using the Tutorial on QuiltersCache.com. It was simple and to the point .... and I had enough of the basics to go ahead and do a small project. From there, I understood enough to be able to follow discussions here ... and get the most from the plethora of other tutorials and sites that are being suggested. Start simple as I did, and you'll be surprised how quick you do learn! Good Luck!! |
I learned PP at a class in my LQS. To me it was totally worth it to take a class.
