    I agree with you. I've tried it a few times, but I like piecing. Ultimately less seam ripping (and yes, I do take my time lining up edges and pining and they still don't open up right!)

    I think it also depends on the design you are making too.
    I like PP, but have tried some designs that go straight to the trash.

    It's good to know that I'm not the only one. It's not so much that I don't like it ... but it sure doesn't like me! Because it is very easy for me to get things upside-down, backwards, and inside out, I have to put forth a real effort to get the piecing done correctly. Possibly it would get easier if I practiced a lot, but I decided there wasn't enough gain to justify the amount of pain and that I can probably live happily the rest of my days without ever doing any more paper piecing.

    So far I've only tried simple ones and I've liked them. I've seen some that look like they take a gazillion different little pieces and I don't think I want to do that!
