Judy Niemeyer has YouTube videos of her cutting out the pattern and how to cut out the fabric to sew on your pattern I've made Fire Island Hosta. I absolutely love the way Judy Niemeyer does her paper piece patterns, if you're on sure start with a small project, maybe placemats but I think you will love it.
I won a 3 place ribbon at a local quilt show for my Fire Island Hosta Quilt.
It was the first paper pieced quilt, I ever made.
