I'm new to paper piecing. I love the accuracy of it. I would like to make my own patterns out of my applique patterns. I have looked in the search area and have not found anything that pertains to this. My questions are:
1. Do I just make division lines where they seem logical to the design or is there another method?
2. Do I need to enlarge the design to allow for the 1/4 inch seam allowance?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Someone posted a free computer program to change a pattern into paper piece. You will have to do a search on this site. But I have also been told that EQ6, and EQ7 can print out paperpiece patterns.

I would quarter or cut the original block up some how into workable sections first.
With applique, you will probably need to subcut these units up too. You will have a lot of little pieces to draw in for the curves. Maybe make extra copies to practice this on :wink:
I can't wait to see your quilts done this way :D:D:D

A free program you can download is called Quilt Assistant. I like it.
