    I highly recommend Carol Doak classes for learning to paper piecing. After you learn how then you can explore some of the other ( techniques) like the freezer paper method, but learning the basics first helps immensely. Carol Doak is a great teacher and offers a couple classes on craftsy. She also has a very active group on her site and has free quilt projects/ patterns going all the time

    i like the fold back method of paper piecing... i found it just by googling it. with this method, you don't have to tear off the paper at the end. and if doing multiples, you can reuse the same pattern a few times.

    If you want to try a good "freebie" video first, the Crafty Gemini just did a paper piecing video last week. Here's the link:

    This is the one of the videos in her series produced with Missouri Star.

    I highly recommend getting the Add-A-Quarter ruler! When I was first learning to do PP, I thought it would be a silly waste of money since I had my trusty 6' X 1" ruler and could use it to measure that 1/4". Well, let me tell you, if you're going to do PP, that AAQ ruler makes the process soooo much easier!

    I completely agree. Her technique is easy to follow. Her Foundation paper piecing class on Craftsy is worth it. You can ask questions and rewind the lessons as much as you need.

    check out EZ piecing. They sell a pattern printed on fabric, I am finding it much easier to learn it this way

    Peggy martins class on Strip paper piecing was fantastic! The way she teaches it was inspiring!! much easier than folding back.
