I just love PPing and think those who hate it just don't know how to do it right! |

I just love PPing and think those who hate it just don't know how to do it right! :lol: :thumbup: :lol: Thread (generally Aurifil or YLI) is 50wt or even 60wt depending on my fabric. For batiks, or blocks with lots of seams intersecting I use 60 wt, the finer the thread the easier the paper removal and the flatter the seams lie. Needle...a size 70 MICROTEX...it is super fine pointed and handles the paper/fabric with great ease! Combine that thread/needle and use a small stitch..on my machine it is 1.5 on others like my older Bernina it is 1.0 or smaller! paper is $6.00 for 100 sheets, thread is $9.00 for Aurifil 50 wt. and $3.75 for YLI soft touch 60 wt. Schmetz Microtex needles are $4.00 for a package of 5. It is not cheap to paper piece, but it is a great price to pay for the perfection one can achieve when doing this technique! |

I will give it a go though in the future :D :D I don't do small to mini pieced curves...not afraid, just enjoy other techniques to get the job done. I hadn't given applique a try until Dear Jane & now I LOVE IT!! |
