    Default Paper piecing tute, step-by-step

    I found this a very helpful tute on how to paper piece a pattern. I would never think to put glue to hold down the pieces so they don't shift when sewing. You learn something new every single day in quilting.

    I've used glue for several years for paper piecing.

    I WISH I could quilt that fast! I have used the glue stick sparingly on PP but not glue. With the speed of the video, it was difficult to see if she was using the washable glue but she was very careful on her quantity she put down on the seam allowances. What I do before attaching the blocks together is to trim off the 1/4 seam allowance of paper first before sewing. That works for me.

    I love this method. She didn't show that you can reuse that paper square for the next block. People have re-used that paper square as many as 20 times. Such a saving of paper, and saving of time not tearing the paper away.

    I have learned many tips on my paper piecing on the 6" blocks I am working on. I love, love, love, paper piecing. Each different block I am working on right now is like a whole new little work of art, and like a puzzle as I go along putting it together with my piecing. I love this over any other type of sewing I have done.

    So far the easiest method I have found was done by Amy Gibson on her Craftsy free block of the year. I don't remember which year, but it was the first one.
