After not finding a tutorial clear enough for me to understand, I locked myself up in my sewing room until I figured out how to paper piece all by myself. In this video I show you how I do it. It's really not that difficult and even beginning quilters can do it!

I REALLY appreciate a concise video tutorial. No chatting and screwing around, no ridiculous intro music. You get right to the point, work quickly, and edit any unnecessary time. Clear directions and easy to see what you are doing. Not once did your hands go off camera either. Every TH-camr who makes tutorials should take a lesson from you. Thank you!
Finally I can stop searching through TH-cam for a paper piecing tutorial. You made this look easy and explained it well. Most other videos skipped over basic explanations or rushed straight in and seemed to have lost that beginner brain. Thank you for thinking like a beginner so I could finally understand how it’s done.
Every time I start a new paper pieced project I rewatch this video as a refresher!
Your videos are always the easiest to comprehend. No useless gabbing. I think I can finally make my paper pieced Christmas tree.
BEST foundation paper piecing tutorial I've seen yet! Love that this is from 13 (!) years ago, and yet, still stands up to current stuff. You rock girlie!
My mother and I are watching this 10 years after the fact and so helpful! Thank you!
I've been in total gridlock over starting a paper-pieced project, but after viewing this video, I really can't make any excuses about not knowing how it's done. You have a very nice presentation style and I'm feeling way more confident about my project now. Thank you!
I have been a crafty gemini(May28,1952) since I learned to sew with my grandmother and I have watched a large number of tutorials on paper peicing.. I have to say you knocked it out of the park,what a perfect tutorial and thank you for sharing..WOW!
What an amazing teacher you are!!! Thank you for the explicit teaching, simple, direct instructions.
You’re welcome!
This is clear and so easy to understand. Not too fast, not too slow, but just right! It's the best tutorial I have found for this technique. Thank you, Vanessa.
10 years after you made this I stumbled upon it. Very easy to understand. I was confused by all the paper piecing written instructions I read but your video cleared up all the confusion. Thank you for making this. Perfectly short and sweet.
I’d hoped to take a paper piecing workshop but then Covid happened. I had all the tools needed so decided to try teaching myself. Your tutorial is brilliant! Very clear, very concise and I’m loaded up with the confidence to get started, today. Thank You!
I too, like some of the others, have wanted to do this for so long but couldn't find a video or any other info to explain it as well as you have. Thanks so much for being such a wonderful teacher. I watch as many of your other videos as I can and love them all. You are a gift to the crafting world!
You make this so simple and I appreciate your tutorial. I have always wanted to do this! Thank you
This is the only explanation that I've understood and it helped me to understand how to do this. I couldn't have done it without you!
Glad to help! 🙏🏽🙌🏽
Absolutely the best FPP tutorial I've watched! I'm going to rewatch in the morning and try my first ever block! LOVE that I found your video.
I love your tutorial. I really am a quilting newbie as far as trying something different from just straight blocks and I kept trying to find something to help me understand paper piecing. DUH NOW I get it! EXCELLENT tutorial. Thank you!
Vanessa your tutorial on FPP made a beginner like me willing to give it a schoolgirl try! I know your quilt club is now open thru June 3 in case anyone may be interested. I love that your website tutorials are forever on your online clubs. I highly recommend Vanessa! Her Longtime subscriber here🙋♀️~Lyn
Fantastic tutorial!!! I just started quilting and kept hearing mention of paper piecing and never really knew what it was. I found your tutorial and I 100% understand it now! Thanks for sharing your skills and taking the time to make a concise tutorial.
I am new to quilting and heard of this, now I know what it is and how to do it. Thank you for the quick and easy tutorial.
I never understood paper piecing (to the point where I precisely cut weird shapes and pieced them normally, with much difficulty) until this video! This is going to make things so much easier! thank you so much!
This is the easiest tutorial to follow. She makes it simple. I am confident enough to start my first project. Best tip is have plenty of fabric.
I have watched numerous videos trying to see how this is done and you explained it (BY FAR) the best! Thank you, thank you! Finally one that makes sense and NOT a complicated!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! I looked at other videos and tried and tried and failed. I watched your video and perfection. I was able to make my English Retriever square and it looks perfect. I have gone on to make other squares for my grandson's quilt as well. I couldn't have done it without you!!!!💗
You're welcome!
Concise and easy to understand and follow. I love your no-nonsense approach to tutorials. Just give me the facts… and you do it so well. Heartfelt thank you!
I have dreaded this technique for SO long because I could never seem to understand the directions. They were ALL so confusing...except yours! You are a true paper-piecing rock star. Thank you.
I have watched many (MANY) videos trying to learn this. I've even made a couple of paper pieced blocks...but it just wouldn't stick in my head. This is by far the best video I have watched that shows you the simplest way to do it. NO confusion whatsoever !! THANK YOU for taking the time to show us how to do this.
I have to commend you on this video, I've watched a lot of paper piecing videos since I'm taking a class at a quilt store. Your directions are the easiest to understand and do. Even my teacher can't beat you. THANK YOU!!
Great video! It's easy to understand and follow. Step by step and not repeating herself make this video super nice. And no rambling on about stuff we already know or don't need to know.
Pefrect! I love this so much now I understand how this paper piecing works! My great grandmother would be so impressed!
This tutorial takes away the intimidation factor in piecing together blocks! I think I can make any type of block after watching this. Excellent explanations and demonstrations. Thank you!
I never make comments, but I am amazed at your teaching skills. No wasted words. Very clear and instructive. I'll be following you.
THANK YOU!! I watched 2 tutorials before yours, and I had no clue what they were doing! I really appreciate how you used fabric that has an obvious right side and an obvious wrong side. I am not sure why anyone would make a tutorial on paper piecing with fabric that has the same look on both sides. again THANK YOU!! I love your tutorials!
May God Bless you, I brought a paper piece pattern and could not figure it out. You made it Crystal Clear, I am thankful that you closed yourself in that room and figured it out and let everyone know how it is done. Thanks again.
I sell paper piecing patterns on Etsy, and refer a lot of newbies to this video. Yes, there are ton of FPP videos here on YT, but I like this one for its brevity and simplicity! Thank you so much for creating it and keeping it here on YT.
I've watched several tutorials on this subject, and by far yours is the absolute best! Now it makes sense to me and it's not that frightening after all. Thanks so much!
Agreed. Vanessa is an outstanding teacher. I look forward to trying this!
Oh wow! Thank you so very much for describing so very well how to do paper piecing! !
this is the easiest most straight forward video I have found on this process...and I have looked at a lot of videos. well done.
I have watched several of these by different people, and your's was the only one that was clear and concise. Thank you!!!!
Excellent and clear explanation. Thank you! "Pretty side to pretty side" will be my mantra!
Vanessa I wanted to learn paper piecing so naturally I thought of you. You made it look so easy. I am ready to go. Thanks for teaching us all!!!!
You succeeded where books have failed--now I think I get paper piecing! I really appreciate the effort you put forth to share your knowledge, thanks!
BRAVO!!! - no one has ever explained this technique clearly. You must be a great professor!!!
I just wanted to say that your instructions for this program is excellent. You have included every little detail. You have made these instructions so easy, even a monkey could follow it. Roberta
beautifully presented. clear concise instructions with no distracting music. THANK YOU
Thank u a million times over for.....1-No unnecessary chatting at the beginning, 2-getting right to the point & showing how to do paper piecing, 3-making the instructions simple. Is been forever since I've done PP. I also made my own PPPattern & was unsure how to get started cuz I've only done PP 1 once ever. I'm sitting at my sewing machine getting frustrated trying to line up the fabric design so the 'design in the fabric' cuts out & appears perfect when done. I'm making my own Quilt Design Pattern, but I waited a little over 10 yrs to finally get to making it...bad me. Designed it Feb 6-7, 2010. When I came on YT to find a REFRESHER for PP, yours looked like u might be quicker at explaining/showing HowTo, & u were. I just don't have much patience anymore at my age....even with MYSELF...lol. A BIG Thumbs Up here. Blessings, L :)
Thank you! This is the first time "Paper Piecing" made any sense at all! I can do it now!
Thank you for this very straightforward tutorial. Just what I needed! I’m excited to get started. Thank you
Thank you thank you. I actually paper pieced a complicated quilt a couple of years ago and I still couldn’t get the concept back in my head😝. No amount of video watching was making any sense. You posted a short, to the point, clear and easily understood video. Wonderful.
I loved when you said that you couldn't find a good tutorial, so you locked yourself in your sewing room until you figured it out. Brava!! (and I relate, lol)
this is the best explanation I've seen for FPP - so clear and straightforward!
“Sew” easy to understand! Excellent tutorial...Thankyou Petal.
This is the best video I have found to explain this. It never made sense to me until I saw this video. Thank you!
Thank you! I paper pieced a couple years ago but when I sat down to work on a small pieced project I couldn’t remember a thing. 3 fails later I came across your video from 12 years ago. I got it! Thank you!
Bravo Vanessa! Finally....a PP tutorial I can understand and I am 68 y/o!! I'm not stupid, but have yet to find a really clear video. I think that because you made your demo block small, with few pieces, it made so much more sense. Who says you can't teach an 'old dog' new tricks? Thank you dear one. ❤
Thank you, at last clear, simple directions for patchwork I had despaired of ever learning. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I watch this again and again if I get confused, you are an excellent teacher!
Your tutorial was so clear precise and you mentioned it a few times you know the quarter inch here and iron here cut this it was very very clear I haven’t done it for a few years and I thought I needed a review and this was the best one I found so far on TH-cam . I’ve seen a couple others but yours stands out and shines‼️🤗
Thank you so much.
What a great tutorial. I have bought books, asked quilting experts, seen numerous tutorials and finally stumbled across this tutorial. Clear instructions, without a lot of chatter. I think I am finally ready to finish my paper piecing quilt!
OMG!!!! I have read two books watched countless videos and could not wrap my head around paper piecing, till now! Thank you thank you thank you. In my head it was so complicated and you just explained it and showed it so simply. I appreciate this more than I can say. I purchase the pattern almost a year ago oven amazing quilt that was designed by an engineer and it's paper piecing and I never could even start it because I just didn't understand paper piecing. Now I do. You are a rockstar in my book! I also just subscribe to your Channel.
This is awesome. Beginner quilter here and I just could NOT figure out the paper piecing thing. Now I get it. Thank you!!
Great job. I now understand how to paper piece. Thanks for sharing.
No that is the way to teach a tutorial! I've never tried paper piecing because it never made sense. Thank you for teaching this old dog a new trick.
Your paper piecing instructions are a lifesaver for me 😊
I keep on going back to it again and again 😂
I know this video has been around for awhile, but I just found it by accident. I've been searching for a paper piecing tutorial that I could easily understand and yours is the only one I've found that makes sense. Thanks for taking the time to make the video!
I watch this as a refresh every time I do a block and I love your presentation style, thank you
Thank you. You made the whole process very easy to understand. I'm a beginner, and now I feel I can do this after watching your tutorial.
Oh my god THANK YOU, I’ve been trying to understand FPP for so long and I finally get it!!! Thank you!!!!!!
That’s what I do! Lol Glad to help! You got this! It’s so fun! Happy quilting! ✂️🥳👏🏽
This video makes me fell more at ease to do paper piecing. Since this project is my first. Very clear and concise instructions. thank you. Lisa Kremer
50+ years of sewing & I'd not heard of paper piecing until this week! The "Tips for Beginner" on another site did nothing to tell me what Paper Piecing is. THANK YOU! You provided what, why & how in under 10 minutes!!
Thank you!! You speak clearly and take it one step at a time.
The BEST tutorial I have ever seen on paper piecing. I finally understand! Thank you! You are an excellent teacher. And this is coming from a 30 year high school teacher :)
Well done! I’ve not wanted to try paper piecing because it seemed so complicated. Then I saw your tutorial. I really think I can do this! Thank you for making a clear and simple video to teach this type of piecing. ❤❤
Awesome tutorial! I did paper piecing for many years and I kind of forgot how to do it. This video taught me how again and it's full of great tips. YOU ROCK!!!
Thank you for the most comprehensive video on the net. I fully understand what to do. You're AWSOME!!
This is the best and most helpful tutorial on foundation paper piecing of all I've looked at. Thanks so much
THANK YOU!!!! I couldn't get past the first few minutes of any other tutorial because they didn't make any sense! THIS I get!
Fantastic tutorial!!!!! The using a card to fold back the pattern seemed so clumsy to me. This way to paper piece is easy and fast with no unnecessary steps. Thanks a million😀😀
Thank you for this clear and concise tutorial. I took a foundation paper piecing class well over ten years ago and haven't done any FPP since. I am working on a 12 block pattern with each block having different large borders. Everything was going well until block #12 which has a FPP border. The directions are pretty sketchy as I think the pattern author assumes the reader knows the procedure for FPP so I turned to my favorite learning place -- TH-cam and found you! Now I am back to my block #12 with some confidence. Thank you!!!
Wow, I just finish reading instructions on paper piecing, CraftyGemini brought the process to life. Can’t wait to try a piecing!! Thanks. Will let you know how it goes.
Thank you so very much! I've found this wonderful quilt in a Carol Doaks book and I've been practicing day after day and not figuring it out and so happy I found you on You Tube to explain this in a way I can understand!
Paper piecing was a total mystery to me and your video was exactly what I was looking for! I'm excited to try!
Thank you! I finally understand paper piecing. You made paper piecing clear and easy to understand.
You are a fantastic teacher! Like the other comments I have looked everywhere for an easy to understand way of figuring out paper piecing, and you have achieved it! Thank you so much for this tutorial, I really look forward to watching more tutorials from you 🙏😊🌸
Thank you so much for such a simple and clear way of doing paper piecing. You and Jenny Doan are 2 of my favorite to learn from. You make it easy for beginners and teach advanced quilters as well.
Thanks Vanessa! I have never fpp before and Christopher Thompson sent me his unicorn 🦄 template to sew but I have no idea what I’m doing 😂. He told me to come watch your video ❤️. You explain it so well!!!
Thanks you so much for this tutorial. You have completely cleared the fog that surrounded me when it came to paper piecing. Didn't think I wanted to attempt paper piecing, but now I can't wait to try it.
@TheCraftyGemni- thank you so much for this tutorial! It helped that you went slow and explained each step. Tip for your rotary cutter: Make you are holding the blade straight against the edge of your ruler instead of at a diagonal- it will save your blades and help with precision cutting!
This is the most simple, easy explanation ever, thanks so much for posting this video!
You did a very good job explaining and demonstrating this. Thank you.
I’ve watched a lot of paper piecing videos and this is the first one that Makes sense and that I think I can follow. Thanks!😊😊
I don't know how many times I've tried to do this, but I think this time I finally get it!.. Thank you!
Thank you for making paper piecing clear. Whenever I am attempting to do something new I look to you for a clear common sense explanation.
I have always wanted to learn paper piecing . Thank you for sharing and keeping it simple
! I've followed you for years and learnt from you! I've never done this, but I've had to do it today and made mistakes, but watching you, seems easier and will try again in the morning! Thank you so much!!I'm trying and stopping and cutting..I'm great until I cut ..far too much..so again here I go!
You are a great instructor. I really appreciate this tutorial. It was clear and concise. Thank you very much!
I've been following you for 3 years and thus is the first time I've ever seen this. I like it.im gonna try it
I loved your tutorial. Very easy to understand your directions. I’m ready to try it! Also, not a lot of extra blah, blah, blah, which I truly appreciate.
Perfect! Clear and easy to follow! I re-watch when I haven’t FPPd in awhile!
Thank you. I really want to make a quilt but got stuck on how to get started. I appreciate your time and then sharing of what you figured out in such an easy to understand say. Thank you! Thank you!!
Thank You! You are the Madonna of Paper Piecing. This is a skill that has been my nemesis for many months. But now I can do this!! Ms. Bessie Bennett feels that one would have to be an " idiot " not to be able to this. Let me tell you, though: if you have dyslexia, it can really throw you for a loop. For some reason, this video and the way this Crafty Gemini explained the technique has made it as clear as rain. Thanks again.
