Thanks, I may need it. If I don't like it I don't have to keep on doing it....

There are several ways to use paper in quilting. I don't care for paper pieceing, but like someone else said you either love it or hate it. Another way to use paper in quilting is English Paper Piecing. Now, that I love! It is hand work, but some people are really turned off with hand work....My avatar is EPP, and all done by hand. Some people use Freezer Paper to do applique.....either by hand or machine.

I've made four paper pieced quilts and just began a fifth. There's no other way I'd make a block with such small shapes if it wasn't paper pieced. Precision is what they turn out like. Each block is usually within 1/4" the same as the next one. You shorten up your stitch length so tearing off the paper isn't difficult, since it's been perforated by the stitches already. I usually do a pile at a time, with a bowl in my lap (to catch the tiny bits of paper) and listen to music or the TV, while I tear away.
