I am right there with you - I recently tried it and fell in love too! It is like pulling back a curtain and revealing a whole new world of possibilities, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE that the points and intersections come out so perfectly. What a de-stresser!!! Have fun!

I love paper piecing. I just use plain old copy paper, the cheaper the better and shorten my stitches to 1.5 on my machine.

I love pp too. All your blocks come out just right, no worry about the correct size seam.

I love pp too. To make it easier to get the paper off, I shorten my stitch length, then when the block is done, I use a child's water color paintbrush and brush the seam with a little bit of water. Paper tears right off.

Addition to post above: I brush the BACK of the block on the PAPER with water. I re-read my post and I saw where some might be confused and brush water on the front seam line.

Great tip! I'm anxious to begin paper piecing, too. I've been collecting templates and look forward to the results. All the quilts I've seen with pp look so great. I'm kind of a perfectionist so this is right up my alley...LOL!

once you're addicted to paper piecing, there is nothing else to make the project so perfect. Enjoy your new found quilting.

I have been quilting for many years but just started paper piecing this year and I love it too. I joined 2 BOM's here in January. One is a star block and the other house blocks. I felt like pulling my hair out at the beginning but once I got the method I was off and running. Check them out. The more patterns the better!!

I must have a mental block with PP just gets me so upset trying it. Had to do a block for an exchange and took me for ever. What is the trick to it?

When I get tired of quilting, I love to paper piece. It can be a small project like a hot pad or runner and they come out so nice and even. Usually everything lines up perfectly.
