Does anyone know how to sew curves with the method of paper-piecing? I would be very grateful for any tips or links to study.

Paper piecing is straight lines only. You can create the illusion of a curve by doing a whole lot of small straight seams.

I have a tutorial saved for this... let me see if I can find it :wink: you can paper piece curved pieces :D:D:D

Ok, I don't see anywhere on this pdf that this can't be shared or posted in this format... so I am hoping this doesn't break any rules :D:D:D
This is for gentle curves |
I saw a video demo somewhere, but can't remember where. Will look for it.

I saw it on one of the tv shows however the curved pieces were not flat pieces of fabric for lack of better words - she kind of folded the fabric in pleats as you curved the fabric around - does that make sense?
I know this isn't what you had in mind but... http://www.paperpanache.com/howto/machcurv.htm I also found this book... http://www.amazon.com/Paper-Pieced-C.../dp/1564773027 |
