    Quilterscache has a beginner block with clear instructions

    Carol Doak's site also explains it well and has free patterns.

    I've watched a few on YouTube that were pretty good also.

    This is the site that taught me paper piecing:

    http://www.karencombs.com/pplesson.htm

    Also if you go to YouTube and search paper piecing, you'll get a few hits that may help you.

    Good luck! It's a lot of fun.

    This is how I do it - no paper to rip off, can re-use pattern for many times.

    I made a tutorial last week for dealing with triangles in paper piecing (after many, many years of getting the angle wrong and needing to re-do the seams over and over again...)

    Let me know if it makes sense!
