The main benefit is the ability to get perfect points. Even if you get "good" points, you'd be surprised with the result if done by paper piecing.- Foolproof. Carol Doak is the best in the field.

Aside from the precision points, if you are involved with group quilting and have people of varying skill, I've found PP gives you more of a chance at accurately sized blocks. Maybe I should say it might give you a chance at more accurately sized blocks. For myself, I have moments when my eyes glaze over just doing it (never a good sign!!) Have a great day!

Accuracy and ability to work with very small pieces. You also have less trouble with stretching.

Because when you are done it is perfect, all points are there, no cut off. Everything matches where it is suppose to.

accuracy---thats the main reason I will paper piece something. Mostly with really sharp points (and a lot of them) or a mini.

Paper-piecing became addictive for me. I look at patterns to see if they can be paper-pieced. This process gives you sharp points and accurate pieces, squares or angles. I love it.

Don't forget Silver Linings and their free BOM!!

I am half-way through my first large (80 inches square) paper-pieced quilt, and just loving it! It is so accurate - so easy to get sharp points and everything fits together beautifully. I've learnt several important things in the process. 1) I've found A4 sheets of tracing paper that feed through my printer without any hiccups. This means I don't have to worry about reversing the design. I place the fabric on the top of the sheets and stitch from the under side, with no problems. 2) Cut the fabric pieces slightly wider than the finished width and trim down after stitching. 3) Use a piece of card with an 'Add-a-quarter' ruler to trim down. 4) 'Block' and steam press each section before joining together. I'm a fairly 'tight' person so perhaps that's why I'm enjoying it so much. I really feel I've found my niche!

I forgot to say that I use a very small machine stitch and the tracing paper tears away beautifully. There's really no mess as the paper goes straight in the bin beside me.

I do EPP (English Paper Piecing). I do it because I love to hand sew and can take my project with me wherever I go.

Regular PP i just started doing it last month. I love the block that I made. I'm not sure what it will be used as but its beautiful. I will do another one because I love how this one turned out. Although I have to admit. I had to unsew a few times before my "light" went on too. It allows me to use my scraps so i don't throw a lot of fabric away.
