    Thank you so very very much, Lee! I am about to do my first paper pieced project and now I am really looking forward to it. I have done Cynthia England's method for picture piecing, and it was so much fun - very detailed but fun; however, with very exacting intersections, this is the method to go with. Thx again!

    You’re saying you press seams open for “perfect” blocks but at 4:00 mins you show the backside and your seam allowance is clearly not 1/4” from one end to the other so did you square the block up after sewing? I’d also like to see how you iron the center of your 4 HSTs to help reduce bulk

    I just tried paper piecing for the first time and I did end up folding to find lines but my project was a paper that had 24 pieces on it. Is there a method for that that is helpful?

  • @msdixie1
    @msdixie1 Год назад

    Such a great video! I’ve “saved” it & refer back to it before I start a paper-pieced project. One thing I do differently--After pressing, I SEW (using a 5” length stitch) my fabric to the pattern instead of gluing it. When the whole block is done, I can quickly remove these long “basting” stitches & I don’t have any glue residue to deal with.

    Good tip for placement of fabric. But look into using freezer paper and not sew on paper at all. There are very good video here on YT.

  • @niki2320
    @niki2320 Год назад

    I’m fairly new to PP, but when you had that pattern folded back, I’m thinking you could sew the two fabric pieces not on the paper? So you wouldn’t have to be sewing through the paper and therefore, not have to rip the paper off.

  • @janolson3440
    @janolson3440 Год назад

    Thank you for this video. I have been paper piecing for years and figured out this method about 7 or 8 years ago after making so many mistakes. I also don’t have nearly as much waste because I rough cut the shape of the piece I need instead of squares and rectangles. I will be teaching this method in my guild class and I’m happy to have a video I can direct them to for reference.

    Hi. So I bought this and I think you might have your page numbers wrong. Also I am confused on finished sizes. According to your chart page 8 is 1.5 finished and 2 unfinished but when I goto page 8 it shows 1 inch finished. Is this an error or am I not reading this right? Same goes for every other size. I just made page 10 2 inch finished and they came out 2.5 finished 😫. Help. Is there an updated version? Mine is copyrighted 2018 I just made the 1.5 finished from page 9. It finished 2 inches. 💁‍♀️

    • @leeheinrich3003
      @leeheinrich3003 Год назад

      Hi Melissa - the page numbers as listed in the table of contents are off as counted by Adobe Acrobat, because I did not count the cover as page 1 and Acrobat does. But my page numbering on the pages themselves is correct, and the finished/unfinished sizes as listed at the top of each template page is correct! Also I just want to be sure you are aware of what "finished" versus "unfinished" means in quilting-many people don't realize what those terms actually mean in quilting. "Finished" means the size of the unit after it is SEWN INTO THE QUILT. So the finished size is the size WITHOUT the seam allowance. "Unfinished" means the size of the unit prior to sewing it into the quilt, so it's the size WITH seam allowance. I list both finished and unfinished sizes for each template because some patterns use finished sizes and others use unfinished sizes. I can't tell from your comment if you needed 2" units with seam allowance or without. If you needed 2" finished (without seam allowance), and your units are 2.5" before you sew them to anything else, you did it correctly! I hope this helps! Here's a link with a few more details about finished vs. unfinished: www.alandacraft.com/2017/09/15/finished-block-vs-unfinished-block-understanding-the-difference/#:~:text=An%20unfinished%20block%20is%20the,the%20block%20minus%20the%20seam

    You are probably not aware that Judy Niemeyer of Quiltworx pioneered that method of trimming before the next piece is placed, not after (as Carol Doak taught us in the 90s). Also placing the next piece against the trimmed edge to make sure it covers. I learned it in 2010 when I became one of Judy's first certified shops. I just like to give credit where credit is due. If you thought of it on your own, you are a genius like Judy.

    • @1955dmb
      @1955dmb 5 месяцев назад

      So if you doubt she is aware, why bother to mention it? Many of us 'pioneer' the very same things others do because we are working on the very same thing others are working on. I'm super grateful for these kinds of tips. Maybe Judy got the idea from someone else. You never know.

    I have watched your video several times and it would be fantastic if you did another video using very opposite fabrics that show right and wrong sides of the fabrics and contrasting colours. Very hard to see the difference with the pale blue and white fabrics(wrong side and right sides) in your current video as you don t know which is the right side of the fabric and the wrong side of the fabrics. I would love to be able to master this technique.

  • @J.MELISSA
