I just love PPing and think those who hate it just don't know how to do it right!

Thread (generally Aurifil or YLI) is 50wt or even 60wt depending on my fabric. For batiks, or blocks with lots of seams intersecting I use 60 wt, the finer the thread the easier the paper removal and the flatter the seams lie.
Needle...a size 70 MICROTEX...it is super fine pointed and handles the paper/fabric with great ease! Combine that thread/needle and use a small stitch..on my machine it is 1.5 on others like my older Bernina it is 1.0 or smaller!
paper is $6.00 for 100 sheets, thread is $9.00 for Aurifil 50 wt. and $3.75 for YLI soft touch 60 wt. Schmetz Microtex needles are $4.00 for a package of 5.
It is not cheap to paper piece, but it is a great price to pay for the perfection one can achieve when doing this technique!

I don't do small to mini pieced curves...not afraid, just enjoy other techniques to get the job done. I hadn't given applique a try until Dear Jane & now I LOVE IT!!
