I would also add for beginners. Batiks are an easy fabric to start paper piecing since both sides are the same. Carol Doak is by far the easiest directions that I have found. Her 50 paper piece stars book has the sizes you can cut to fit the paper piecing before you sew. There are a lot of waste triangles but they work perfect.

This is a freezer paper method where you don't sew through the paper so no need to tear little pieces out of your stitches. Enjoy PP, I love the accuracy of doing it!

As Tartan stated, there are various modes of PP. There is the English PP which most notably is working with hexagons and there is the intricate piecing flipping back and forth with a printed paper pattern. Carol Doak is the Diva of that technique.

I have taken paper piecing classes with Carol Doak and she is an excellent paper piecing teacher. You could purchase one of her books, or she has a site on Craftsy, that sometimes goes on sale for half price, but it's worth the full price. She is an excellent teacher and you'll pick up some good tips from her books or classes.
