Your teaching abilities are absolutely incredible!! You are the reason I just bought my wife the "Tula Pink Bernina 770" for our anniversary. I don't sew but after watching a lot of your videos...I think I may even give this a try. I hope you will be in South Florida some day just so I can thank you in person! Thank you for all you do!!
I have a very personal comment that you have probably never heard...my 39 y.o. son Ryan took his life 04/26/2019 & after 8 mos. my dear friend got me into appliqués & quilting but my 💔 is still dragging me through life.THEN on a fabric hunting trip, I discovered TULA fabrics! I bought yards & yards without knowing what I would do! Out of that I found the PETAL pillow pattern, but THEN I hit YT to see you & your work . Just LISTENING to you made me smile & be happy...and now, I am hooked on TULA learning new hand sewing tips and oh-sew-happy ideas! YOU change how I see life now...Thank you, TULA...BTW, I am 71,a retired Sp Ed teacher and YOU are an amazing teacher. My latest endeavor is beginning: English paper piecing...Thank you from the bottom of my healing heart❤️
💥this is a flash for me…….i have sewed backwards all my sewing life which is about from 5-76!! It annoyed my teacher dreadfully)the days when children were taught HE in school). My mum tried to get to sew right way round but I just couldn’t do it. I sewed at her knees for years and I remember coming home from nursing, pulling out the little stool, putting some logs on the fire and we wd sit and embroider or hand finish some bias binding or flat and fell seams. Dad wd be . reading, making his gorgeous big, hand cut floor rugs or drawing out something for us to embroider later…..pillowcases for eg. My parents were happy to have me at home for a few days and the three of us lived an idyllic, coastal life. He died when I was 22 and I went on to have mum live with me when my husband and I bought our first home. Mum was a rock to our growing family. So, this sewing lesson has reawakened very happy memories for me. Love, thankyou. …..I’ve recently purchased and mounted a map of USA States and im putting a little flag in each state where I subscribe to. Cd you tell me your State please?
I love the "why" and Tula gives it to us. "Why" I do this in this particular way. My brain likes this type of explanation. BEST tutorials I've ever watched.
Thank you Tula & The Fat Quarter shop for providing us a "Master Quilt Series" on EPP. It was informative, entertaining, & presented in such a way that you actually want to hand sew an entire quilt. 😅 This means so much to me because for over the past 4 yrs I've been a stay at home, 24 hr a day, caregiver to my Mom. I have not been able to attend guild meetings, take classes or go to a show. And usually teachers of Tula's caliber do not give away free classes. Tula, thank you for giving me this gift. I truly appreciate your time.
Tula hit it out of the ballpark again!! Tula is a true teacher because she explains the how and why by her genius reasoning and deep insight of the art. Tula also does it with a flair by inserting her sense of humor. Who couldn’t love her to pieces? I know certainly love her. I have been EEPing for about five years. I have to have a project in my hands while watching TV with the hubby or I’ll fall asleep. It is so therapeutic and relaxing. I will no longer worry about knotting my thread. Talk about shaving seconds off a project!! WOW. I learned a lot on the 3 EEP videos. I had hoped that I could see her stitching her EEP pieces and was just overwhelmed with information!! Looking forward to more of Tula!! Thank you FQS. The filming crew did an excellent job catching everything perfectly.💕💕💕
This has been a fantastic series, full of great humour (public service announcement was priceless). The last video is my favourite because there is so much logic in the way Tula works her magic. It has really made me reconsider doing paper piecing, as it was a little daunting before.
Hands down this series has some of the most informative information ever passed along. The epp information is exceptional but there is information anyone doing any hand stitching should know and understand. Thread nap, needle threading, and ergonomic information pop to mind as examples. Very well done. Thank you! ❤️
Ok...did anyone else think there was stuff to learn about thread? Holy cow this series was so much fun. I have machine sewed my pieces 😬🤫, but I plan to hand sew them forever and ever 🤩. If Tula had a series on cleaning the house, I bet mine would become spotless! 😂
Omg miss Tula, I’m so gonna try changing direction of sewing, the hard part for me is hand/wrist pain. I’m NEVER giving up on EPP. My absolute favorite way to quilt. Thanks for the tip 🤗
Dear girl, I am 77 years old and have just found and watched your 3part tutorial. I crochet and knit and have started quilting this past year. I doubt that I will ever do English Paper Piecing, but just watching and hearing you explain has been such a blessing to me. Thank you for your honesty and patience.
This has been so helpful. You are the best teacher ever! AND I’ve discovered EPP is the answer to my need to be doing something even when I’m watching tv or for whatever reason I am not in my sewing room. Thanks so much!!
I have learned so much from Tula, on EPP. Where were u last year when I did my Tula Nova quilt. You have a unique way of teaching that help me retain the information. You give me a reason for what I’m doing. I’m starting a new EPP and I’m going to change how I stitch. Thank you Tula and FQS💜🧵🌻🐾
Omg this whole series is amazing! Makes English paper piecing feel so much more accessible ! Thank you for taking the time to explain so many details so clearly! 🙌
I’m doing my Passacaglia and her clases make realise that I’m slow because I do things that doesn’t matter at the end! So now I know I can go faster! Thanks FQS crew and Tula for making this video! Hugs for everyone!
These tutorials are fabulous. You're a born teacher. I loved the explanations about why something is done a certain way. Thank you for putting so much thought and effort into making this series. I'm hoping to watch more from you in the future.
Another great lesson! Thanks for sharing the knotting tip. I have always struggled with knots. I just thought I was weird. All your techniques make so much sense. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Again...you have the best humor. You could be the sewist comedian at quilt shows.
OMG! I’ve never received so much excellent knowledge from such a short video! Thank you for the great instruction for English Paper Quilting. What makes your video stand out for me I guess is the way you talk about the subject. So easy to understand that it gave me confidence that I can actually do this! Look forward to your next videos.😊
Love your teaching Tula. I am making your Tula Sunrise accidentally! Yep! I saw it was paper pieced and thought, yes, I like to paper piece. No where did it say, that I see, ENGLISH paper pieced! But I love hand quilting and just finished a whole cloth hand stitched queen sized quilt, (yes, it go first place in the quilt show!), so I know how to hand stitch, but this is new to me. Your tutorial makes me confident, so off I go! Thank you again!
I sew "backwards" too. As I was watching other tutorials, I was thinking... oh no, I'm doing it 'wrong' right from the beginning. Nope, I'm more comfortable with this method. And, now we have reasons why it actually makes more sense. Yay!
this has been an absolute delight to watch. My first introduction to Tula, love her sense of humor and down to earth approach. It does take time to create a masterpiece! Thank you so much for all this knowledge and such helpful instruction. Back to my project now! Will look for a future Tula project from FQS
OMG!!! I have been English Paper piecing for a long time. Watching your. Video Tula it’s like I’m a beginner. I have learned so much from this one tutorial!! Thank you. I am going to take all of your advice!
Ok... I started watching your videos out of curiosity. I really had no idea what EPP was. Not only did I fall in love with you I can’t wait to get started on my first quilt! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing amount of knowledge! You have saved me 15 years of trial and error. I will be watching your videos time and time again! Your new biggest fan, Casie
New sub here, thank you YT Gods for the rec. You are so articulate, intelligent and sarcastic and funny to boot. You not only teach the hows but the whys and why nots. You are amazing.
What an awesome tutorial!! Tula is so insightful on EPP. I have hand sewn for many years and watching this and hearing her explanations and rationale for doing certain things gave me so many aha moments! Thanks for providing this great tutorial, FQS 🪡
What a joy to stumble across your teaching videos this morning and put a face to your famous name! Just as others have said, you are an amazing teacher, and I do love your sense of humour also. Gorgeous fabrics and beautiful quilt work. A bit envious of the case where you store all your threads! Thankyou for generously sharing your skills!
You are such a great teacher! You explain not only how to do something a certain way but why it should be done that way which makes all the difference in the world. Your humor is the icing on the cake...love it! Thank you!
Absolutely Brilliant series! Thank you so so much! Not just a great designer but a great teacher! So much information! Colour, methods, notions! And your piece on ergonomics of hand sewing is absolutely vital! I absolutely love how you go about things, a very reflective process on methodology of craft. I will re-teach myself how to sew with the minimum effort (it seems to be your philosophy here!). It had been some time that I was wanting to learn more about EPP which seems to be quite trendy now. So timely! Thank you, looking forward to seeing more tutorials.
Tula, I never gave it much thought... but I just realized that I've always sewn away from myself (backwards) too like you ever since I was a lil girl. Just always felt more natural to me. I truly enjoy your videos & I'm learning so much. You're an inspiration ♡ In Friendship, Ruth S.
I am new to EPP. After watching several different people teach on RUclips, your series has been the clearest and most helpful for me. Thank you so much!
I've watched this several times and will refer to it frequently. Wonderful!! I now live by these words: "Striving for perfection is admirable. Achieving it is boring and never going to happen". Thank you Tula and Fat Quarter Shop. You all are my inspirations.
By far one of the best EPP series videos I have found. Tula made the videos easy to understand and took away the intimidation that comes with learning how to hand sew (EPP). She also provided good tips for needle choice, posture and ways of blending thread choice to fabric to name a few. Thank you FQ shop for making it possible!
TULA and FQS thank you so much for this series on EPP. I have foundation paper pieced for years and I love it. I had never tried EPP and the suggestions for supplies have helped me so much. I did my first start and it came out ok. The next day my special needles came and oh my gracious what a difference. I also love the no knot process. Still need to order smaller Sewtites although the larger ones work for the project I started.
I am a newbie here. I have been sewing for many years....but EPP is new to me. I have been trying over and over to join my pieces together and realized that I was using a double strand of thread and you were using a single thread. My stitches were much better and not showing after I figured that out. So glad a friend told me to check your videos!! Now I just need to play catch up on them!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you so much. This is my first video with you and will NOT be my last. I love your teaching style and tips. I have not tried EPP but will try soon thanks to you.
Loved this EPP video ❤️🔥 I have been sewing EPP for years and I have learned from Tula the "why" I have had some challenges. Thank you Tula and FQS !!
You are delightful! I am glad that I literally stumbled across your videos! You are also hilarious. I adore your honesty. I can sew both ways and you have convinced me to keep sewing "the WRONG (Hah!) way." I am doing my first EPP quilt. I also do too many stitches, but I like the look --20 stitch gal per inch gal! I have finished all of my hexies and just bought my other fabrics. I guess I intuitively let this quilt evolve in terms of fabric choices and I am happy with how things are shaping up. Can't wait to learn more from you! You are hilarious, adorable, lovely and a great teacher!
I’ve been wanting to do English Paper piecing for years. I think Tula proved I can do it. She’s amazing. Thank you so much for having her do this tutorial. What a fantastic teacher.
I have sewn for over 60 years and have NEVER sewn toward myself. Would never even think about doing it that way. It's just beyond my comprehension why toward you would be the 'correct' way! This is the first time I've ever heard of this.
By far the BEST tutorials I have ever seen on epp. Watching Sue Daley - who I love - had me almost convinced to give it a try. You have completely sold me! I'll start with something small, maybe a bag or a table topper - rather than my usual way of beginning with a king size quilt LOL . But at least I will start! The tip on stripes was one of the best things I've ever seen - no I won't tell anyone! I absolutely love the way you explain the reasons for what you do because of what you've learned. I've been sewing for most of my life - I'm 66_ and never knew about the grain of thread. For me knowing why I'm doing something in a specific way keeps me on track - I won't decide I should try to use 2 yards of thread to keep from threading a needle after listening to you explanations. For now I'm ordering the needles, thread and glue stick based on your recommendations - but I will treat myself to those micro serrated scissors very soon!
Tula, you are absolute magic. Thank you for sharing and teaching your craft. I have wanted to begin EPP for so long and now I feel ready to go ... and I had a blast learning with you!
You are an amazing teacher, thank you so much. I have never learned so much in 3 classes as I have from watching you. You also tell the "why" behind what the reason is and I appreciate that. I have done some EPP but didn't enjoy the process because of things you have covered in your class. I think now I would be ready to give it another try because I love the look of the work.
Thank you FQS and thank you Tula Pink for taking the time to make these English paper piecing videos. I’m so impressed. All 3 videos were so well done. Tula was amazing! She is an excellent teacher. She was clear and so informative explaining the how’s and the why’s. I learned so much. And videography was perfect allowing us to see exactly what Tula was doing. I’m so grateful for the collaboration and for the generosity of time and knowledge that was shared. A million thanks! 🦄🦋
I am new to your video's and I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed them And I learned so much. I consider myself an experiened seamstress of 60 years but you told me a lot of things I never knew or I have forgotten. Thank you and I will definitely be following you.
I can't wait for the "goods" to show up so I can get started.Thanks to Kimberly for helping to make Tula available to me. This is the most wonderful gift and I will always remember that you all gave it to me while I was in isolation during the Corona virus nightmare.
Thank you Tula, I am 77 and am an avid quilter and you rock girl. Your videos tell us why, I love that. EPP is my favorite thing to do and you have taught me some new things. Never to old to learn.
I really appreciate you explaining sewing away from you, that will help me so much. I also want buy all these great tools and your pattern when money is not so tight. I'll make due for now with what I have to practice. Plus, I love your fabric designs!
OMG! My mind is blown! Thanks for sharing your awesome techniques in EPP. I’m just starting out in this quilting by hand journey. I learned quite a few new tricks from your videos. 🥰🪡🧵
Really appreciate you sharing your wide knowledge and excellent explanations and rationales for every aspect of the process, from sewing away from yourself, to needles, to how to take thread off the spool! I've been sewing a long time but have learned tons from your videos. Thanks for sharing!
You are goving soooo many tips . Not that I don’t know most of them after handsewing quilts for 40 years but I still discover new things in uour video’s. I sew my English Paper pieces totally different. Ik we call it the you and me stitch. I start sewing, from the middle ( between the 2 patches, not the middle of the patch) and I sew my first stich from the middle towards me and just catch the fold of the patch that is towards me and then I I again start from the middle and just catch the top of the patch fardest from me. That creates a fishboon stitch that is soooo flexibel.
Your teaching abilities are absolutely incredible!! You are the reason I just bought my wife the "Tula Pink Bernina 770" for our anniversary. I don't sew but after watching a lot of your videos...I think I may even give this a try. I hope you will be in South Florida some day just so I can thank you in person!
Thank you for all you do!!
ooooh, husband of the Century !!!! You're in the tight place
I have a very personal comment that you have probably never heard...my 39 y.o. son Ryan took his life 04/26/2019 & after 8 mos. my dear friend got me into appliqués & quilting but my 💔 is still dragging me through life.THEN on a fabric hunting trip, I discovered TULA fabrics!

Hun,
I fell for you. My son passed in an accident years ago. I am addicted to arts & crafts. Just four Epp. Sewing makes me happy. Happy sewing!
💥this is a flash for me…….i have sewed backwards all my sewing life which is about from 5-76!! It annoyed my teacher dreadfully)the days when children were taught HE in school). My mum tried to get to sew right way round but I just couldn’t do it. I sewed at her knees for years and I remember coming home from nursing, pulling out the little stool, putting some logs on the fire and we wd sit and embroider or hand finish some bias binding or flat and fell seams. Dad wd be . reading, making his gorgeous big, hand cut floor rugs or drawing out something for us to embroider later…..pillowcases for eg. My parents were happy to have me at home for a few days and the three of us lived an idyllic, coastal life. He died when I was 22 and I went on to have mum live with me when my husband and I bought our first home. Mum was a rock to our growing family.

Love, thankyou. …..I’ve recently purchased and mounted a map of USA States and im putting a little flag in each state where I subscribe to. Cd you tell me your State please?
“Not in a thread drought”. Lol. She’s the best teacher I have had in a long time.
I love the "why" and Tula gives it to us. "Why" I do this in this particular way. My brain likes this type of explanation. BEST tutorials I've ever watched.

Amazing series. Four years old, but truly a master class.
Tula hit it out of the ballpark again!! Tula is a true teacher because she explains the how and why by her genius reasoning and deep insight of the art. Tula also does it with a flair by inserting her sense of humor. Who couldn’t love her to pieces? I know certainly love her. I have been EEPing for about five years.

Thread nap, needle threading, and ergonomic information pop to mind as examples. Very well done. Thank you! ❤️
Love your “no thread drought” comment. Busted! But no more. Common sense is pretty amazing...and so are you, Tula!
OMG! she is a fantastic artist, a good teacher, and she is smart and funny, i love her 👏🏻❤️🧵🧩
Ok...did anyone else think there was stuff to learn about thread? Holy cow this series was so much fun. I have machine sewed my pieces 😬🤫, but I plan to hand sew them forever and ever 🤩. If Tula had a series on cleaning the house, I bet mine would become spotless! 😂
Such a joy to watch Tula. LOL thread drought, she's a master speaker and teacher. Love her and her fabric!
You are fantastic! I have been captivated and also laughed my ass off. "We are not in a thread drought!" I LOVE you.
Omg miss Tula, I’m so gonna try changing direction of sewing, the hard part for me is hand/wrist pain. I’m NEVER giving up on EPP. My absolute favorite way to quilt. Thanks for the tip 🤗
This has been the most informative series. I can’t wait for the next installment. I’ve learned so much.

Love Tula’s teaching!🙏❤️
This has been so helpful. You are the best teacher ever! AND I’ve discovered EPP is the answer to my need to be doing something even when I’m watching tv or for whatever reason I am not in my sewing room. Thanks so much!!
Thank you for sewing these together and showing us how to save ourselves from having pain in sewing.
Tula, these videos make me think that I could actually do an English paper pierced quilt! You are amazing!
I have learned so much from Tula, on EPP. Where were u last year when I did my Tula Nova quilt. You have a unique way of teaching that help me retain the information. You give me a reason for what I’m doing. I’m starting a new EPP and I’m going to change how I stitch. Thank you Tula and FQS💜🧵🌻🐾

Enjoyed this series so much! From a veteran homeschooling, you are a truly gifted teacher, Tula. Thank you!
What a breakthrough! NO KNOTS! I completely suck at knots too! Thank you, thank you, thank you....!
Now I will pick it up and try again
Tula - you are a great teacher! Thank you SO much - This newby to EPP now has more confidence to start a project.
These tutorials are fabulous. You're a born teacher. I loved the explanations about why something is done a certain way. Thank you for putting so much thought and effort into making this series. I'm hoping to watch more from you in the future.
You’re so good at explaining English paper piecing, that I’m almost tempted to give it a try. You’re an exceptionally gifted teacher, and artist.
Another great lesson! Thanks for sharing the knotting tip. I have always struggled with knots. I just thought I was weird. All your techniques make so much sense. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Again...you have the best humor. You could be the sewist comedian at quilt shows.

I love your sense of humour (pas). You are hilarious on top of being informative. Thanks again. Much enjoyed this series👍
What an awesome tutorial!! Tula is so insightful on EPP. I have hand sewn for many years and watching this and hearing her explanations and rationale for doing certain things gave me so many aha moments! Thanks for providing this great tutorial, FQS 🪡

Gorgeous fabrics and beautiful quilt work. A bit envious of the case where you store all your threads! Thankyou for generously sharing your skills!
These 3 EPP tutorials are the best! Tula is an excellent instructor and I can't wait to get started!
You are such a great teacher! You explain not only how to do something a certain way but why it should be done that way which makes all the difference in the world. Your humor is the icing on the cake...love it! Thank you!
Absolutely Brilliant series! Thank you so so much! Not just a great designer but a great teacher! So much information! Colour, methods, notions!

Wow!😁 instructions couldn't be any clearer! Photo angles are great.Best video on English paper piecing ever!
This 3 part series was so incredibly informative, I have learnt a lot thankyou Tula for passing on your knowledge 🤗
You are the Best Teacher!
Tula,
I never gave it much thought... but I just realized that I've always sewn away from myself (backwards) too like you ever since I was a lil girl. Just always felt more natural to me. I truly enjoy your videos & I'm learning so much. You're an inspiration ♡
In Friendship, Ruth S.
I am new to EPP. After watching several different people teach on RUclips, your series has been the clearest and most helpful for me. Thank you so much!
Thank you Tula! You are a not only a successful artist and but a wonderful teacher!!!
Excellent instructor!!! I especially like your explanations as to why you do something a certain way. Love your dry humor!
This video is FULL of useful tips. Mostly I love that you explain The Why of any method.
Thank you so much Tula and Fat Quarter Shop
You have changed my world 🧵
I would take Tula Pink classes ALL DAY LONG!!! Amazing info, thank you so much for sharing! 💜💜💜💜💜
She’s the best. I was intimated with EPP, NOW I CANNOT wait ….❤❤❤
The 3 videos were just great. I’m new to English Paper Piecing and learned so much. Thank you Tula and Fat Quarter Shop. ❤
I've watched this several times and will refer to it frequently. Wonderful!! I now live by these words: "Striving for perfection is admirable. Achieving it is boring and never going to happen". Thank you Tula and Fat Quarter Shop. You all are my inspirations.

Your videos are the BEST! Your instructions are the absolutely clear, concise, and easy to follow. I love your tutorials. Keep’em coming….please.
This is the best video series I have viewed about EEP. Thank you so much for a great detailed presentation with humor. I'm ready to create. 🙂
TULA and FQS thank you so much for this series on EPP. I have foundation paper pieced for years and I love it. I had never tried EPP and the suggestions for supplies have helped me so much. I did my first start and it came out ok. The next day my special needles came and oh my gracious what a difference. I also love the no knot process. Still need to order smaller Sewtites although the larger ones work for the project I started.
I watched all of the paper piecing videos and am so glad I found then, You are terrific!
Ok it will be Professor Tula from now on, the know it all of paperpiecing. Thank you so much.
This has been so calming as well as helpful, thank you, Tula.
I am a newbie here. I have been sewing for many years....but EPP is new to me. I have been trying over and over to join my pieces together and realized that I was using a double strand of thread and you were using a single thread.

Thank you so much. This is my first video with you and will NOT be my last. I love your teaching style and tips. I have not tried EPP but will try soon thanks to you.
Loved this EPP video ❤️🔥 I have been sewing EPP for years and I have learned from Tula the "why" I have had some challenges.
Thank you Tula and FQS !!
So many useful hints in this series! Please consider doing another one. You are SO creative and talented!!
You are delightful! I am glad that I literally stumbled across your videos! You are also hilarious. I adore your honesty. I can sew both ways and you have convinced me to keep sewing "the WRONG (Hah!) way." I am doing my first EPP quilt. I also do too many stitches, but I like the look --20 stitch gal per inch gal! I have finished all of my hexies and just bought my other fabrics. I guess I intuitively let this quilt evolve in terms of fabric choices and I am happy with how things are shaping up. Can't wait to learn more from you! You are hilarious, adorable, lovely and a great teacher!
I’ve been wanting to do English Paper piecing for years. I think Tula proved I can do it. She’s amazing. Thank you so much for having her do this tutorial. What a fantastic teacher.
I trained myself to sew the way you do. It really makes a difference.
I tried two of your tips - no knots and sewing from the front!! I am so much faster - thank you so much!!
I have sewn for over 60 years and have NEVER sewn toward myself. Would never even think about doing it that way. It's just beyond my comprehension why toward you would be the 'correct' way! This is the first time I've ever heard of this.
That snipping your thread at an angle is a game changer. Thanks Tula.
By far the BEST tutorials I have ever seen on epp. Watching Sue Daley - who I love - had me almost convinced to give it a try. You have completely sold me! I'll start with something small, maybe a bag or a table topper - rather than my usual way of beginning with a king size quilt LOL . But at least I will start! The tip on stripes was one of the best things I've ever seen - no I won't tell anyone! I absolutely love the way you explain the reasons for what you do because of what you've learned. I've been sewing for most of my life - I'm 66_ and never knew about the grain of thread. For me knowing why I'm doing something in a specific way keeps me on track - I won't decide I should try to use 2 yards of thread to keep from threading a needle after listening to you explanations. For now I'm ordering the needles, thread and glue stick based on your recommendations - but I will treat myself to those micro serrated scissors very soon!
You are the best teacher ever! THANKYOU ❤️
Tula, you are absolute magic. Thank you for sharing and teaching your craft. I have wanted to begin EPP for so long and now I feel ready to go ... and I had a blast learning with you!
I just listened to the 3 videos on epp and I learned a lot… and I have been epp for a long time. Many thanks!
Here I am at 1:28 in the morning watching this excellent series. I now want to get started on an EPP project. I absolutely adore Tula Pink.
You are an amazing teacher, thank you so much. I have never learned so much in 3 classes as I have from watching you. You also tell the "why" behind what the reason is and I appreciate that. I have done some EPP but didn't enjoy the process because of things you have covered in your class. I think now I would be ready to give it another try because I love the look of the work.
Thank you FQS and thank you Tula Pink for taking the time to make these English paper piecing videos. I’m so impressed. All 3 videos were so well done. Tula was amazing! She is an excellent teacher. She was clear and so informative explaining the how’s and the why’s. I learned so much. And videography was perfect allowing us to see exactly what Tula was doing. I’m so grateful for the collaboration and for the generosity of time and knowledge that was shared. A million thanks! 🦄🦋
I am new to your video's and I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed them And I learned so much. I consider myself an experiened seamstress of 60 years but you told me a lot of things I never knew or I have forgotten. Thank you and I will definitely be following you.
Oh my goodness! I am learning so much from you! I’m 68! So you CAN teach an old dog new tricks!
I can't wait for the "goods" to show up so I can get started.Thanks to Kimberly for helping to make Tula available to me. This is the most wonderful gift and I will always remember that you all gave it to me while I was in isolation during the Corona virus nightmare.
Thank you Tula, I am 77 and am an avid quilter and you rock girl. Your videos tell us why, I love that. EPP is my favorite thing to do and you have taught me some new things. Never to old to learn.
I really appreciate you explaining sewing away from you, that will help me so much. I also want buy all these great tools and your pattern when money is not so tight. I'll make due for now with what I have to practice. Plus, I love your fabric designs!
I stitch in the same direction! I never thought about it before. I'm learning so much in these videos. Thank you.
OMG! My mind is blown! Thanks for sharing your awesome techniques in EPP. I’m just starting out in this quilting by hand journey. I learned quite a few new tricks from your videos. 🥰🪡🧵
What a delight and privilege to have you share your vast knowledge with us! I feel so honored! As well as educated and entertained.
Really appreciate you sharing your wide knowledge and
excellent explanations and rationales for every aspect of the process, from sewing away from yourself, to needles, to how to take thread off the spool! I've been sewing a long time but have learned tons from your videos. Thanks for sharing!
You are goving soooo many tips . Not that I don’t know most of them after handsewing quilts for 40 years but I still discover new things in uour video’s. I sew my English Paper pieces totally different. Ik we call it the you and me stitch. I start sewing, from the middle ( between the 2 patches, not the middle of the patch) and I sew my first stich from the middle towards me and just catch the fold of the patch that is towards me and then I I again start from the middle and just catch the top of the patch fardest from me. That creates a fishboon stitch that is soooo flexibel.
