I am totally befuddled by paper piecing in quilting. I googled it and the couple I looked at were of no help. I looked in the new Clotilde catalog and it looks like you have to buy foundation papers or patterns in order to do paper piecing but I get the feeling that a lot of you make your own. Is there a good tutorial out there that can help me understand this concept. I am new to this board so if this topic has been hashed and rehashed already I apologize. TIA

Yes I get my patterns online and in many magazines but I think what you are asking is if some of us male our patterns at home without buying the special papers. Yes we do from what I can tell many of us print them out ourselves on copy paper I buy a pack of copy paper at Walmart and print my patterns out and use them all of the time It is probably a no no but it works and I am more apt to have copy paper than foundation paper around when I need it
