I am new to paper piecing - but really enjoy the technique. As others have said - you must make your stitch length shorter. Paper piecing is fantastic when precision is required - e.g. lots and lots of points! :)

Here is Amma's tutorial:

When I got to that site, I couldn't see any pictures, but there was a word "download" that if you click on it should show you the pictures Amma added <wave>

I love paper piecing (have not been doing it for very long) and Amma's tute is very easy to follow.

I only started pp about a month ago ... and I love it ... I like to think of it as color-by-number with fabric ... I didn't think I would ever want to try it, I had only seen it done on Simply Quilts and I thought it looked too complicated, but it isn't ... Carol Doaks website has some nice free patterns you can play with ... have fun with it :D

the question of paper piecing comes up often on this board. And like others said, you either love it or hate. Carol Doaks books and DVD's can't be beat for teaching you how to do it. I love the technique but it takes some getting used to. You can even go to Carol Doaks website and check out her free patterns. Marge

I learned to PP about a month ago, and am now hooked. Planning my firs full size quilt. I also learned by amma's tute. and the Carol Doaks dvd. Once you get it, it's there LOL. Good luck, and ask for help if you need it. :-D

Its not hard if you let someone else do it. :lol:

I learn paper piecing in February 2010 and now hooked on it. I posted a few of my blocks earlier
