I absolutely love English paper piecing and the fact that it’s a great take along project. My personal preference is thread basting, but it’s good to know there are other options
Thank you for commenting
Just learning how to EPP,
It's very relaxing if you like hand sewing. Enjoy
Great video. Learning a lot. Thanks
Glad to hear it! Thank you for leaving a comment
Nice job! I never used glue but basted through the paper….. but I was 12. 50+ years later I’ll try your technique, precut! Add the hole punch, no whip stitch & remove the paper before sewing. I love having small ready to go projects. Always learning something new! Thanks!
you're very welcome and thank you for commenting
Thanks, going off to punch some holes in my templates!
You're very welcome. Have fun with it.
Therapeutic, Portable, Beautiful and Organized. Yes, I will try this.
Awesome
Thanks for sharing your technique. I don't love glue basting, but it does make the process more mobile. I like to do it when we take long car trips to visit family. I can do all the steps in the car with the glue or thread basting. But regardless of how we get the job done, EPP is a lot of fun. Now I want to discover new ideas for projects to make other than large quilts.
Glad it was helpful! I have a few EPP projects on my channel that aren't quilts. I'm with you, I love making quilts but also like to find other ways to incorporate english paper piecing other than quilting.
I haven't tried it yet. Definitely when I retire. Great video. Straight to the point. Easy to follow very informative
thank you
I was sorry to hear about people struggling with glue as I have been doing EPP for the past few years using a Sewline glue pen and found it very easy to use. It is low-tack, so not sticky on your fingers, but holds the papers in securely for as long as necessary and then it is very easy to remove them. Quicker and less faff than tacking with thread.
Maybe I should look I to this. The problem I've had with glue is the fabric is very hard to take away from the paper.
Hi- I just started learning EPP a couple weeks ago. I'm hoping you can help me with a question. I have used the SewLine glue stick and now I'm finding the paper difficult to remove also. Does a steam iron help to release the glue so its easier to remove the papers? I don't mind if my hexi papers aren't reusable....Ok...I'm back. I JUST now, USED MY MINI IRON to UN- GLUE the BASTING (SewLine glue stick) on my hexi and it's worked NICELY. Now the papers are MUCH easier to remove❣But don't use steam.
The glue is water solvable, get a water sprizer and spray with a bit of water and it should ease up the glue to remove the paper
I have been wanting to give EPP a try. You have just gave me the best tutorial yet. This makes more sense to me. I will give it a try. Another tip I have found is I use my cricut to cut my hexagons.
I use the cricut to cut the hexagons too, I've also started to use glue. Enjoy english paper piecing is rather addictive
Yes! I use my Sizzix to cut my papers. It's cheaper and rather fun!🙂
Probably the best directions for English Paper Piecing! Thank you so much.
Thank you so much
I love EPP too! I don't use glue either. I find it messy and hard to work with. But I also don't iron or trim or use multiple wonder clips when doing hexagons. I just use the 2.5" squares as they are, fold the first edge and clip once at the corner, then start basting around the corners. It tuns out nice and straight for me and leaves the perfect amount of room for the needle to glide through right over the paper. I can share the link to the thread basting tutorial I used if you might be interested. I haven't seen your way of stitching before. How does it hold up in a quilt with wear and tear?
I havent started to create a quilt just yet with them. It's taking longer than I thought. Lol
I use glue, for me it’s easier than basting. I did like watching you stitch. I’m anxious to see what you’re going to make with your hexi’s next week.
I've made a few different things with english paper piecing now, check out my channel playlist.
My manager was telling me about EPP the other day. She doesn’t use glue either. I now have to give this a try
I like to try everything then you know what works for you. ❤️
@@FaodailCreation are you located in Canada?
Yes I am and I'm also a baby lock educator for Canada.
@@FaodailCreation I’m in Ontario
So glad I found your channel. I have lots of scraps and thought I would do some EPP. I usually use glue but was having trouble with it sticking, Will be now using your method, thanks heaps.
You are so welcome! I struggled with the glue too for some reason and so many people like that method. I could never get it off the paper. Thanks for leaving a comment it really helps my channel to grow.
I'm just starting to make these. I have quilt my husband's grandmother made 90 years ago and a few are worn out. I want to replace them.
That's fantastic.
Are you going to try EPP now I have shown you how?

I’m new at this and I can use all the help I can get thank you so very much
you're very welcome
I look forward to trying this EPP technique! Really enjoyed your video.
Awesome! Thank you!
I normally thread baste through the papers. I didn’t like the glue very much. I can this method working when your papers are smaller. 👍🏻
I didn't like using the glue either. this method is way better
Have you tried water soluble thread?
I actually haven't I know people use it for basting their binding down too
Great tutorial. I haven't tried EPP yet but I would love to.
Have a go it's very therapeutic
I will try your method tomorrow thank you.
You're welcome. Try everything and find out what works best for you
Very different method than I use. I may try it on my next project. Thank you for sharing.
You're welcome
I use a dab of glue stick in the center of the hexi to keep it in the middle of my fabric. I then stitch baste but NOT through the paper. I sew all the “petals” on the middle hexi then easily remove the paper from the middle hexi only so I can bend the middle to stitch the petals together. Then I press. Easier to travel with. It’s actually quite a quick process and the paper removes very easily because there is only one very small glue spot on the back of each piece. Thoughts on my process??
Thank you so much for your tips.
Thanks for the tutorial. I appreciate you sharing your strategy for organizing the projects.
You're welcome. Thanks for your comment and glad I gave you some ideas
I am currently doing an EPP project, a quilt with vintage looking fabric. I used glue and the papers are falling out and it has become a mess. lol It is just for me, so I am not worried about how it turns out too much, I consider it a learning experience. I love to do hand sewing, but I am either going to have to baste in the papers, or use that foam product that you leave in. So I watched your video with great interest. Thanks for making it.
You're welcome. I've been trying different methods and failing. This one I've had success with.
I just started paper pierce and I love it.
Me too. Thanks for the comment
I LOVE LOVE LOVE EPP never thought I would like anything hand sewn but im addicted now. I do not like the glue method either so I thread baste the old way through the papers. I use a die cut machine to cut my hexis so im ok with not using the papers more than 3-4 times.
Epp is very addictive once you get started with it. I didn't like the glue at first either. Thank you for leaving a comment
Loved your video. Thank you for sharing.
thank you so much
Some very helpful and different tips that you shared!
Thank you for your comment
Some use paper clips to hold material down
That's a great suggestion thank you
I am certainly going to try it your way. Gluing frustrated me and your removing the paper before stitching hexagons together makes a lot of sense my needle will certainly go through material easier not hitting the paper and glue as I was trying to do. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for your comment, I've been doing more English paper piecing just recently and yes gluing was frustrating. Basting the stitches is much better and it does get more easier over time. English paper piecing is a great little past time away from the sewing machine. I really enjoy it!!
I have just started my first EPP project yesterday and enjoying it. Found you for the first time tonight. I am going to go check out what you have made with your EPP. See you there so to speak. 👍
Thank you for your comment. I have done a few epp tutorials now. You can check them out on my channel there is a epp playlist
I love EPP ❤. I have tried glue method but enjoy the sewing method best .I also like the scrappy look . Enjoyed yourvideo .
Thank you so very much for your comment
Oh I will try your method as I like the pressing as it makes it look better. Not sure about taking papers out but I will give it a try!!
Keep the papers in, that's the only thing I would change about this video. Thank for your comment
Good video,thank you I’m trying to learn the basting method
Try both and see what you like. Thank you for your comment
Nice , I learned something awesome!
Aww, thank you. Glad you enjoyed the tutorial.
I really enjoy foundation piecing and I'm getting ready to try EPP. Just working out what method is going to get me started the easiest! Thanks for showing your method. :)
You're welcome. Give them all a try you never know what you're going to iike.
Hello Cassie! It's soooo good to see you! I'm finally getting back to sewing. Paper Piecing is very interesting. I may try it sometime. Please show us your finished project. Please tell mom hi for me! 🤗🦋
Hi, nice to see your name back. I'll say hi to my mom for you 🙂 this method is so much better than the glue method.
Help! I can’t find your thread and clever iron! I want you to get credit for the recommendation!
Thank you for the help.
I've just posted a very similar iron on my amazon page, www.amazon.com/shop/faodailcreation?listId=1N5ERRM2P7PF8 I may get a small commission if you chose to purchase. The wonderfil you will have to go into a retail quilting store for I don't think you can purchase it on line. Thank you very much for leaving this comment
Nice tutorial
Thank you! Cheers! Thank you for your comment
I am trying EPP for the first time, and testing the glue, with the material cut out with the rotary pattern. I like your way, the presser is adorable and works well. The pattern is too close to the size of the paper to get the stitches in as it is too close to the edge. I have not yet gotten to taking out the paper, so it is good to know there is another way.
I tried both ways, glue then basting to see which i liked best. I prefer glue so far.
I’ve found your video soooo helpful. I’ve watched lots and yours is really good. Thankyou so much . Are you in the Uk?
Thank you for commenting, I'm glad I've helped. I am from the UK and reside in Canada.
Have you made a full quilt? Pulling the papers is fine for one “flower”, but the paper give the fabric the stability and strength when you are talking about 50 or 60 being sewn together. The pull of the weight would be to much without the paper.
This was just a demo and yes you do need to keep the papers in for a full quilt. I've started one but still have to finish it.
Thank you do you starch your pieces before you sew.
No I don't
I am doing an EPP project now, but all my papers are falling out! lol
Just made a comment on your other one. I hate using glue personally. All my fabric permanently got stuck to the paper so I was the other way around to you. Lol
@@FaodailCreation Sorry I posted twice. My comments aren't showing up. I don't know why, so I tried again. I am glad that you got them, tho.
@@petmomful2260 sometimes they go to my to be approved box. Not sure why.
I love paper piecing, but I love it because it is portable. Your method is definitely not portable due to the ironing. I have absolutely no trouble using sew line glue. Paper come right out. If I do baste I just hold it in my hand, turn one edge over, start basting. No clips. I feel you have too many steps. That being said, it’s everybody’s preference.
I have recently started using glue while english paper piecing for the same reason of it being portable. I do love both methods for doing my english paper piecing.
Interesting to watch but I don't think this is for me,,, think I'll stick to my piecing and quilting!!
It does take time. Very much slow sewing
