Relax folks!!!!!! ... same concept and basic technique as OBW, so easily switched. Yes causes some confusion, but the world will go on even with confusion.



:-D

and will be a lot more fun for it, too! :lol:

You're fine - they're pretty enough to warrant showing twice anyways. ;) :D

Don't sweat it ... it's not a big deal as they really are much the same. Just a variation.

Shorten your stitch length, fold the paper at the seam line and score it with your nail. You may wish to also explore Freezer PP. In this method you preforate the FP with your pattern then you fold it back and stitch right next to the paper instead of through it. Ironing the paper to the fabric makes it kind of stick to the fabric during assembly. When you are all done you just peel it off and can reuse the same pattern piece several times before it quits sticking. It is a fantastic way to PP. Same results w/o all the tearing off of paper. But I wouldn't recommend it for PP patterns that have a lot of itty bitty pieces. Then I would use vellum paper. Pricey, but tears off like a dream.

Thanks for the tips. I have watched a video with the freezer paprer but, I thought I had better do it this way or I really would get messed up. LOL. I will plan on useing it with the next one. Thanks again!!

That paper pieced quilt is flippin' crazy!! WOW! Did you design it yourself or is there a pattern somewhere? I guess I should have read all the posts before commenting in case someone else has already asked about the pattern...

thumbup: Exactly!!! So worth the money. Plus the ease of printing/copying the pattern. Or even needle punching it.
