I just watched Mr. Domestic on Youtube- that does look like a great technique!

I love Mr. domestic....he is such a hoot and comes up with some great go-arounds...

I really enjoy paper piecing. I save small scraps of fabric from all my projects specifically for use in future PP projects. But I definitely learned Not to paper piece when tired! Love the precision PP gives.

I'm in the 'I don't mind it' camp. With rare exceptions it's not my go-to technique but I don't really have issues with the technique either. Just recently finished PP'ing a king sized hunter's star quilt.

Mr.Domestic is the exact video I watched, he explains it very well. I tried a block a few weeks back just to experience it with scraps. I used my stitch in a ditch foot, using the guide on it to follow along the edge of the paper and offset my needle just a tiny bit. It worked just as good as his video, and the block I tried came out just as good as sewing it on the paper.

I really like PP. I made my SIL a queen size flying geese. Would never have attempted otherwise. It takes a little longer, but I also like the way my 9" pineapple block comes out. I have allways done the sew, then fold and tear way, but may look into the freezer paper way that some have mentioned.

What a great approach to things ... gotta work on that for cleaning house!

I'm a fan of freezer-paper piecing too. I like being able to use the patterns over several times and no paper trash when finished. This is the video where I learned the technique:

I paper pieced blocks for a Union Jack quilt, and rather liked it because it was so precise. But there were only 3 pieces to a segment. A lot of tiny pieces would probably drive me mad.
