OK, bought Carol Doak's class and have watched the first episodes.

We'll see if I can do this or not.

Thanks, all.

I am working on my paper piecing skills too. I have the basic book by Carol Doak. It has the basic technique along with several pages to use during the process. I think it starts with the little heart shape. Good Valentine shape to use.

I also looked for the free videos on paper piecing as 'ManiacQuilter2' mentioned until one would click with me on some part of it than another. I was working on one and had to use my seam ripper a lot, and then seen what I was doing wrong until it clicked. Once it clicked, I had so much fun. I want to do a big block soon to make me a mini quilt for the wall.

I took Carol Doak's class and another one that showed paper piecing the quick way. I liked Carol's the best. She is a great teacher and I learned a lot from her

yes, I have purchased Carol Doak's class on Craftsy and I feel she gives great instruction. PP is on my list of goals for 2016 in hopes of improving my skills.

For me paper piecing was one of those things I didn't "get" right away but kept trying and pretty soon it just clicked. I did take a class on Craftsy and just kept trying. All of a sudden I got it and like doing it so hang in there. I would suggest using bigger pieces to practice on and it will just click one of these days.

I have seen Carol Doak on some quilting show. I bought the Nancy Martin's craftsy class and am going to try some of her patterns.

This is the one I like. It's from Connecting Threads. Go to connecting threads.com, click on "freebies", click on tutorials, click on "paper piecing". There several. You might check them all out but the one I like is:

Same here. Carol Doak works PP the traditional method whereas Peggy Martina works it in strips. It is maybe a little more wasteful but it was an enjoyable method for me.

I signed up for Quick Strip Paper Piecing with Peggy Martin on Craftsy and I really enjoy it. I signed up for the class 2 years ago when it was on sale and I can still go back and review certain lessons, ask questions, or take notes so I understand it better. I find this is much easier for me than a book and I like the fact that I can ask questions about what I am seeing. I definitely think it is worth it if you want to do a beautiful star or pointed quilt.
