I have been quilting since 1980 and never done a paper pieced - although I know how to. I'm thinking of doing a Judy Mathieson quilt this year, and will do the foundation (paper piecing) method so that it is super - accurate. However, I am going to print it onto the 151 material that will dissolve once I wash the quilt. I don't think I would be bothered pulling out all of the paper. Any method is good to start. Some people only do Baltimore - which is a lot of applique.
