LOL! Love this!

It seems like when people try it, it's either a love it hate it. For me, it looks like too much bother so won't be doing it.

But on the other hand I absolutely love how pp blocks turn out. You can get some amazing patterns in pp. I admire anyone who has the patience to do it.

i have never tried paper piecing just for this reason...very intimidating....but after reading this, i may just try a simple star or another easy pattern....you have to start somewhere on the learning curve!!! gina

I can do any thing else but not paper pieceing. I have tried and all it does is boggles my mind for some reason!Will try it again sometime soon.

i have a lot of waste too...but I find it is easier using more fabric ....more scraps for scrappys lol

I paper piece about 90% of what I make and absolutely swear by it. Go to quilterscache.com and there is a paper piecing tutoral that is very good. Keep trying, you will love it. The only problem with this technique is the fact there is more wasted fabric. But the points and junctions are worth it. If I could figure out how to do it, I would post some photos of my paper piecing projects.

It really is worth the effort. There is no way to get the precision with regular piecing. Even with simple square in a square, I make a paper piecing pattern. No stretched bias edges, and perfect blocks every time.

Paper piecing is basically coloring on the wrong side of the paper. Instead of crayons your using fabric to fill in the spaces. Then outlining those spaces on the right side of the paper with stitches. Good luck with it. You will be very pleased with the results once you get a hang of it. You can do the most precise piecing imaginable with paper piecing.

I love paper piecing, but I have to relearn how to do it every time I start a new quilt. I don't use the technique often, but really love the results when I do.
