paper piecing...

i have absoultely no idea how to do it, i looked at a few sites but i
think i got more confused...any have any good books or sites?

I finished my bag for my SIL.!. i am so glad! now i can finish my
pillow for nana, and then begin on MIL pocketbook!!!!!!

I had a terrible night sewing last night!!!!!! i broke a couple of
needles, the thread kept getting tied in the bobbin and the tension nob
kept moving...but i finally finished it!!! it looks pretty good for my
2 pocketbook and my first gift to give someone!!!!

Larissa, hope your little one feels much better, i know life can be
hard when one is sick!!!!

happy holidays!!!! prayers to everyone!!

Don't worry, Hazel. This does look confusing at first. Once you get
the hang of it, you'll be fine.
Try to find the book 'Teach me to Paper Piece' by Carol Doak. She is a
wonderful teacher of the technique and many here have benefited from her
work. She has written many books, and now includes CD's with them.
I think I have the title correct - it is pretty much right, if not.

I'll go along with the others and recommend Carol Doak for paper
piecing, but I'll go a step farther and tell you to get her new DVD.
She has it on her site at www.caroldoak.com and it makes it SO EASY to
understand!!! She ships quickly, too! Great customer service!!

Thanks for this info. Carole. I didn't realise there was something
'separate' from the books. I'm often asked for recommendations on how
to learn to paper piece, so I must remember this, from now on.

this showed me how it worked.
right click on this slide show for stop, start, reply etc. works a treat.
working backwards so it took some concentration to wrap ones brain around
the concept.
try a simple block so get the hang of it.
once mastered this technique knows no bounds.
carol doak also has a yahoo group with some free patterns, draws with free
giveaways and some block swaps going on there. the link to her group is on
her website too.

I'm with you on that one. If there's a redemial paper-piecing class, I
need to join. I'm sure we can learn though. I got Alex Anderson's paper
piecing book, and it looks promising.
Here's a quick little lesson where you do one block. It seemed to make
sense to me, and my block actually looked okay.

Hope that shows up okay, it's an awfully long url.

Carol Doak has a DVD out that shows how to paper piece. I learned from a CD
of hers that was included in a book. You can buy directly from Carol at
