I would like to start paper piecing, and I have NO IDEA where to start! Does anyone have recommendations for good beginner books or projects? Any websites that you use or would recommend? I'm a visual learner, so lots of pictures is good! :lol:
Thanks in advance everyone!

I love quilter's cache - so many patterns and a simple block to start you off on paper piecing. I love it, although it is sometimes tedious, but the results are fabulous. Hope you get hooked on it.

carol doak books have great instuctions and lots of beginner patterns to try. paper piecing is very forgiving and a wonderful technique (once you get the hang of it...it can be quite a trial at first) start with something simple like a tree...something with a minimum amount of peices then start at #1...there are tutorials and help to check out too...

I found PP to be very fun and easy, I came across it early on and didn't know it was supposed to be difficult LOL
Maybe search ebay or other online sources for one of Carol Doaks Book/CD combos.
There are many YouTube videos too on this :D:D:D

My local library actually has some great quilting books available for loan.
My local quilt guild also has a free library.
These sources as well as internet tutorials and info are all great.
I prefer to save on books unless I am really in love with a book ... and put my few schekles into actual quilting supplies.
