I have the Clover mini iron; it is about 6-8 inches long with a little iron at the end. Couldn't be without it. They can be found at Joanns (ugh) and any quilting shop or catalog

Thanks for the tutorial link. Been thinking about learning paper piecing, now I will add it to the list of future quilt projects.

I have this book and that is how I learned to paper piece. Her learning technique is really easy and with step by step photos on how to get started. The book itself contains around 32 different patterns that we all love to make. Google her on Barnes and Nobles and you will see different prices on this book.

Ok at the risk of really sounding thick headed...I have watched this video and I get it but if this is the same video I watched the other day she is only using one pattern piece. The BOM pp has 3 separate patterns you print out...so I am still not getting it...yes I never wanted to learn pp but since I wanted to commit to the BOM I am being forced to learned...yes folks I vowed to get out of my comfort zone...not easy but I am determined not to give up. Watching & listening closely for any tips that just might make it click for me.
