My first Paper Piecing project
 

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.

very pretty i dont like paper piecing!!

I meant to say Paper Piecing is not my favorite. Thanks every one for you nice compliments.

very pretty, i haven't tried pping yet. you did a wonderful job.

It's perfect for Valentine's Day. PP is not my favorite, either!

I love it and just the right time for Valentine's day!

Very pretty.

I love your runner suz! YOu did a wonderful job on it for your first try. A natural I am thinking. I just ordered a eighth inch trimmer to work on some paper pieced ornaments I have in the process. The quarter inch seemed just too wide to trim to for these little projects.

Keep up the good work! I really like it.

Very pretty. BrendaK

We'll at least you gave pp'ing a try...I think it looks great and will be a nice Valentine decor.

Great job, looks terrific, and you accomplished something new! Can't beat that, better than avoiding it. I am not a fan of pp, only do it if I really, really like the pattern...and then I have to give myself a refresher course in it!

Nice and bright colors - I like it!

Very pretty! I really like to PP. I haven't done any lately but I think it is so fun & I always love how perfect it looks.

I love pp. Your project is wonderful.

very pretty :)

http://www.quiltnbee.biz/shop/Block-...5-x7562107.htm There is a video on this site for piecing with freezer paper. I love this method. So easy.

That's a lovely Valentine runner; well done with the PP which is not as easy as it looks sometimes.

I have rubbed q-tip soaked in water over the seam lines on the paper after finishing the sewing. The dampness makes it easy to tear the paper off. It may depend on the type of paper you use.

Adorable! Great job. I'm not a paper piecer myself and admire those who are.

I like that a lot, Suzanne. It's nice and bright and just right for Valentines Day. I love paper piecing if someone else does it for me!

Your table runner is adorable.

Suz, that's awesome for a first (or more) piece! I want to tackle it. What did you learn?

Very nice runner for Valentines Day

It looks good!
