The Violet Craft Foundation Paper Piecing Technique TUTORIAL
Просмотров 45 тыс.4 года назад
This is my favorite video of my Violet Craft FPP technique. I have shiny, produced videos with television stations and production companies, but this raw video in my studio is my favorite. I foundation paper piece just a little different than the way I have seen anyone else teach it. This is my way. It is absolutely not the only way. I hope that something in this video helps you in your FPP jou...

    Thank you for this tutorial! I always get confused when switching from placing fabrics to sewing because I flip my templates over. I love how you explained it and will be using your method going forward!!

  • @ellendegraaf1520
    @ellendegraaf1520 7 месяцев назад

    Thank you for your explanation, this makes soo much more sense then how I would've gone about it haha. Just for your instructions, maybe next time use a section that has all patterned pieces and no white😅

  • @terryech9110
    @terryech9110 8 месяцев назад

    Thank you so much for the very clear and not too chatty instructions! I just knew that with the very detailed patterns you produce you must have a lot of experience with a precise method of layout and cutting.

    i am just starting to explore quilting and i love your atomic starburst pattern. quick question after watching this: does grainline matter with paper piecing? it looks like you are just placing the pieces where ever they fit and ignoring grainline. coming from garment sewing i just had to ask 😆

    • @violetcraftdesignstudio
      @violetcraftdesignstudio 9 месяцев назад

      Hi! Grain does not matter unless you are trying to line up a print. One of the primary jobs of the paper is to equalize everything so you can also use different textiles together that might not work well together without it. Have so much fun!

  • @deannas1515

    Do you starch the fabric before using it? Very helpful video!

    • @violetcraftdesignstudio
      @violetcraftdesignstudio Год назад

      Thank you for asking! I never starch. Never ever. I understand that people do and I understand why - I personally just find it completely unnecessary. The paper in Foundation Paper Piecing is the foundation - the great equalizer - to hold all the fabric in place so that it won't stretch or move. I get perfectly flat, precise results without any starch at all.

    I am making your Atomic Starburst Quilt. Do you have instructions on how to cut the background fabric prior to foundation piecing the STARBURST BLOCKS for these blocks?

    • @violetcraftdesignstudio
      @violetcraftdesignstudio Год назад

      Hello Elaine! The precutting instructions are in the first few lines of the pattern. Email us if you have an additional questions!

    I just bought your wolf abstractions pattern and am watching your video again (watched it before buying the pattern and now again that I have it). I have never bought a pattern like this and expected the pattern/templates to be ready to use but it says to copy on 11x17 paper..obviously I can’t do this at home and you don’t discuss this in the video. Do you just take it to somewhere like staples? On regular paper?

    This has helped me immensely but here's where I can't figure it out...when piece A is sewn to B, I'd be stitching over the seam line into where the C piece goes a bit correct? So then when I have to fold back between the A/B piece and the C piece do I unpick what goes into it? So confusing to me...

  • @notesfromleisa-land
    @notesfromleisa-land 2 года назад

    I like to glue baste my pieces inside the seam allowance. It keeps them from shifting. Nice directions on ensuring coverage for angular pieces.

    Hello I am trying to send you and email but don't see where to send it do you or does anyone here know if there was a correction made to pattern The Atomic Starburst Quilt pattern?? Please let me know.

    • @violetcraftdesignstudio
      @violetcraftdesignstudio 2 года назад

      Hello Linda! There’s no correction, but we did change the pattern and make it bigger. Contact us through the website for the changes!

    • @violetcraftdesignstudio
      @violetcraftdesignstudio 2 года назад

      Hello! There is no correction for Atomic Starburst. We did do an update and changed the size a bit in 2020. More iformation can be found on the quilt's page here: www.violetcraft.com/quilts#/atomic-starbust

    @dianelrsmith9840 3 года назад

    I really like how Violet Craft shows HOW TO DO step by step semi slowly so I can think through each step before the next one. I'm making an airplane and it is a smaller scale and has me making mistakes.... so I am hoping this video (which I will probably watch more than once) will help me with the small pieces on the airplane I am working on. - dlrs

  • @ckl5590
    @ckl5590 3 года назад

    I’m not new to paper piecing but I struggle with using indiscriminately large pieces of fabric for strangely shaped pieces. ultimately, you need enough to finish the project. I am working on the elephant and I worry constantly that I will run out of a color even though I have a bit more than what the pattern calls for.

  • @Madhatterr87
    @Madhatterr87 3 года назад

    I have a question! So when I follow this, the seen completed panel is mirrored. Is this how it’s supposed to be or should I try and mirror the pattern when I copy it? Thank you!

    • @violetcraftdesignstudio
      @violetcraftdesignstudio 2 года назад

      Hi Tim! Yes, the final is always mirrored from the templates. We’ve already mirrored the templates for you, so your final project will look just like mine. That’s why the template piecing map inside our patterns is a mirror image of the final project, so you can look at the template side with the numbers and match it to the map. I cover this more in the second video. Happy sewing!

    I bought your wolf abstraction quilt, how do I do this with the large pieces, when the pattern is only one part. Do I sew the fabric at one side?

    I usually pick up things pretty quick. Thankyou for the the little hummingbird pattern you give but he has been doing my head in all day. sew unpick, sew unpick . I will persevere and get this. I think ive watched this clip 15 times so far. lol

When I get better at this I am going to try one of your patterns- also need to narrow down the selection of patterns I want to do! I basically want to do them all!

    I would really appreciate your help-I am trying to paper piece using your atomic starbust pattern and very discouraged. I have watched your video a million times and it makes sense until I start using the little pieces of the star! Any advice? I realy want to make this and have spent a lot of $$. I get placement A1 and A2. But when I go to A3, with small angle, etc-everything gets gets out of whack! Suggestions for this pattern??

    I recently purchased your wolves abstract quilt. I’ve never done foundation paper piecing so I hit RUclips to try to figure it out. I watched many videos and was so confused I wasted fabric and took out stitches over and over until I found this tutorial. Your explanation was so understandable. Thank you so much for your common sense approach.

    • @violetcraftdesignstudio
