I took an all day workshop with Sally Collins once on precision machine piecing (traditional piecing, not paper piecing), and I tell everyone it is, hands-down, the best class I have ever taken. And I have taken more than just a few classes. Buy her book, and if you even adopt just a few of her practices, all your piecing, miniature or not, will go so much more smoothly. I have bought her book more than once as gifts for quilter friends, too.

Thank you for this site. I have been trying smaller p/p and I printed and orderds a couple things off this site and put it in my favorites. thx again

Sally Collins has a free precision piecing video class at the Quilt Show website. It is a fantastic class.

Her book The Art of Machine Piecing is available for Kindle for $9.99.

Can you post a link to it? I can't find it. Thanks.

You can still find copies of the miniature quilts magazine on ebay

They've gone out of business though, nothing new being published.

If I remember correctly most of the blocks were between 4-6 inches. Not what we'd call mini today, but a great place to start.
Happy Piecing!

Still doing my research about paper piecing. Has anyone here tried Peggy Martin's method of paper piecing with strips?

I think that the first successful way I learn something is what I tend to stick with. That's probably why I return to some techniques I learned in jr. high home ec! I learned pp first with Carol Doak and thats where I stay. IMHO there is no reason for me to change from something that allows me to achieve perfect results.

Sorry, the Sally Collins class was only available until Oct.31st. http://www.thequiltshow.com/os/blog.php/blog_id/5082
