My first Paper Piecing project
1 Attachment(s)
This has no back and batting yet but I am glad i got the top done. Getting that paper off the back was not fun. It is kind of bright. Thanks for looking.[ATTACH=CONFIG]567182[/ATTACH] i don't think PP is my favorite.

Congratulations.....a lovely runner. I do know what you mean about "picking" off the paper.
|
Your table topper turned out very nice, points look perfect. Haven't tried pp and will someday I guess. Seems like an extra step getting the paper off. Nice job!!!!
|
Very well done. My paper piecing efforts so far have not been the best
|
That is so pretty.
The first block I did last year pp, I felt like jumping up and down. I found using that technique so fascinating. I loved it after I learned all my steps in the process.:) At first I didn't like taking off the paper, but after I adjusted my stitch length it was ok. |
Very cute table runner. Just in time for Valentine's Day. You did a great job. Paper piecing is not for me tho'
|
turned out great. pp is not my favorite either, but sometimes it just makes the blocks better
|
I really like your runner top. The tricks for removing the paper are short stitches and thin paper. I also prefer to crease each paper firmly before I begin, which tends to weaken the paper. For foundation piecing of scrappies however, I like to use old phone book pages. My first really happy PPs were Dresden plates and NY beauties.

Good job! There is a paper piecing technique that uses freezer paper instead of regular paper. As I recall, the way it is done involves ironing the fabric piece to the paper, then fold the paper back along the stitching line and stitch very close beside the fold but not actually on the paper, then add next piece of fabric the same way. When you're done, you can peel the freezer paper off and reuse And since you never actually stitched through the paper you don't have all those little bits of paper caught up in the stitches to deal with.
Anne Peterson has a lesson on doing this kind of paper piecing in one of her Craftsy classes. Rob |
