You did great! You get the concept, so that's huge! I have to practice the concept every week or so to remember how to do it! It's so backward to me!
So many great suggestions too. I ordered some of the paper Klue recommended. I've tried quite a few, but they are usually so hard to rip off! |
You did really well....it's your first time and you've got the concept down pat. Just like anything it's practice, and more practice. Your blocks are great--pat yourself on the back!

Great job with pp. I LOVE pp, and have muddled my way through a couple pieces. I had more problems with making sure my pieces were large enough. I finally decided larger was way better than ripping out those tiny stitches, and it is way more fun now! It is so fun because the finished product is so precise! :lol:

Good Job ! I am thinking about taking a class in September at the LQS. I have the books and have tried one square but think more "professional " help is needed. You did good :thumbup:
|
You did a great job!!! :thumbup:
I've not had the guts to even try it yet! lol!!! |
You did such a good job----and this is only your first time??
Like many others this is a technique I've yet to try. Maybe one day I'll get to take a class on it. In the meantime I can live vicariously thru your projects. |
great job for your first try!!
I want to learn how to pp. Lots of good suggestions here. |
Nice job

Helpful hint on paper piecing-use colored pencils to code the shapes and then you'll know right away if you have the wrong piece before you sew. Keep trying it takes lots of practice. Moosegirl

I do LOTS of paper piecing and can't stand to work with tiny pre-cut fabrics. I like to cut a strip close to the width I'll need and then trim it after I make my seam. My hands don't work well enough to handle small pieces and if I just keeping using my strip, I don't waste much fabric.
There are lots of neat paper-piecing patterns online. Give it another try- it just takes practice. |
