Thanks a lot JanetM. Just might be great for a first trial. Seems that $8.49 for 10 sheets is the going price.

I started a pp quilt because I loved the pattern and there's no other way to piece the intricate blocks. But I am not enjoying it. It's getting easier the more I work on it, but it's slow and tedious and then there's the paper to rip off when it's done. I too, would like to try the freezer paper method where you fold it and sew next to it instead of sewing through it. When I get the project out again, I may try it with the next block. I do intend to pp one more block for another quilt (a mariner's compass) just to get those sharp points, but then I probably won't do it again! LOL

I love paper piecing. I'm looking for books all over. Anyone have one they want to part with? PM me!!
|
I love to PP. I'm working on one now. Well, as soon as I get off the computer...............LOL
|
I read the Freezer Paper method and thought if it takes 5 pages to explain it, its not for me! I do get the idea, but I'll try the normal way first. My Tumbling Blocks quilt dream is turning into a drink coaster!

I think tracing paper is the best for PP. It is Opaque, and very easy to tear off. I bought some vellum, but it is too heavy. I think a very light weight vellum would work better. I like the idea that I can see thru it and place my fabrics right.

Right now, I hate it! I guess because it is akward for me.
|
I have learned it and love it. And I am going to try the freezer paper method too. Love the tutorial salmonsweet put on here. Thank you.

I hate the process but love the results. I just finished a storm at sea that I know would not have turned out nearly as well if I didn't PP it.
I use do-sew for PP and don't remove it. It's very lightweight - I just copy the patterns onto the do-sew using a sharpie and then leave it in when the block is done. |
