I also like to paper piece. most blocks can be translated into a paper pieced version, and I find it is so much easier to keep the blocks the same size and make the points meet where they are supposed to...

I love paper piecing I just finished makeing Carol Doaks Twisted mystery she had for her group. I have been paper pieceing for many years now.

Spray your paper with a light mist of water, it helps peel the paper off

Hi I'm very new to quilting, though I have been sewing for several years. I've been 'cruisin' this site for a few weeks now and taken the advice I've seen given over and over. I'm starting small, working my way up. I'm piecing pot holders now, then will move to placemats, next to a table topper...you see my strategy. I did a lot of research and decided I would begin with paper piecing. This video helped me. Hopefully it will help you too.

Thanks margie77072 for the paper piecing sites. I am going to bookmark them.

I really really like pp, but I hate picking out the pieces of paper :( Has anyone tried using fabric foundation that can be left on the back? I saw this kind of medium exists and comes from EQ7.

I learned to pp on my own by watching the Carol Doak videos on Utube. She makes it look as easy as it is.

This is also the video that helped me the most of all. Helped me work through some issues I was having

I also love to PP. One of my favorite designers is Cindy Edgerton. Check out her site www.averyspecialcollection.com/foryou.htm
I have made several beautiful wall hangings that looked impossible to do. Cindy gives great precutting info.

I haven't done it for awhile but really like it. The 1/4 inch ruler is handy.
