at 79 years old just beginning to learn quilting. Paper Piecing is the only way I can quilt. This was the best tutoral I have seen. Going to subscribe and keep learning. Thank you so very much.
I too am starting later in life...a 60 yr old who was a seamstress all her life and only dreamed of being able to make a quilt. Well, it's taken me over 40 years to work up the courage to try. And it's clear, quality tutorials like MSQC and yours that have given me the confidence. Thank you!!!!
I love your teaching style. Wishing you would also do a tutorial on how you would paper piece an Ohio Star Block as a whole block like this one. HINT HINT.
I have watched so many videos and read so many articles about paper piecing and I just was not getting it. The I just stumbled onto your channel and read the title and sighed. But I decided to watch the video anyway. The directions and instructions you provide are so very clear and the process actually makes sense to me now. Thank you.
The Quilt behind you is fantastic 😍❣️ At the moment I sew by paperpiecing and puh its not easy by the first steps. But I am hopefully to do it better and better in the future. Thanks for this instructions👍🙋🏼
You are a smart lady. Great way of not wasting fabric. Just add 1 inch to piece size to cut fabric! I see tutorials where plenty of fabric is wasted. Fabric is expensive to waste. At least it is in Canada
As an educator, I am impressed how your teaching style is outstanding, clear, and precise...Thank you for sharing your knowledge and letting us see your beautiful creations...
I liked this video, Nancy did a great job explaining it. I am new at Paper Piecing and seems very confusing. But I am ready to try it after this video Thank you Nancy!
I told my quilt guild about you. You are a great teacher, for new quilters, and intermediate quilters and experienced quilters! Really cant tell you how much I enjoy your teachings.
I recently tried a paper piecing design and out of frustration cut it up and threw in trash. After seeing this video I’m going to try again! Thank you so much.
Your tutorials are concise and easy to follow. I am new to paper piecing, having completed only half a dozen blocks so far. I, too, use the vellum and also purchased the add a quarter plus ruler. Thanks for all your helpful tips and keep the tutorials coming!
Tried someone else's paper piecing video before this one. I wish I had found your video first. Your instructions and process were much clearer than the other video. Thank you!
You make it look so easy. Your presentation helped me. I’m going to try paper piecing. My aunt made a beautiful mariner compass. That is what I’m aspiring-to.
Thank you. That was so much help, I’m getting ready to do a paper pieced block for a BOM and it’s been a very long time since I’ve done any of this. Your tutorial was great.
I have made an 18" mariners compass block and will follow your instructions to make a quilt similar to the one you have on the back of your set. it is beautiful.
That would be fabulous!! Did you know you can purchase the book for the pattern and instructions for that quilt? on our website www.onpoint-tv.com - under the shop feature :)
Thank you for such clear instructions, my friend has been telling me to use paper piecing for years, I could not get my head around it, now I understand.
OMG! I am sure there are other videos showing this, but fell across yours. THANK YOU! I am not even done with my first block yet can see how all your advice was worth a million bucks. You are always so clear and concise. Now back to my block - it's a blast, thanks to you!
i loved ur video. so far this is the best video ive found to learn how to paper piece. ive been wanting to do this butterfly one and other videos were the simpler patterns. this is lil better to follow with the different angles like the butterfly. i got two points done. have six more to do. thank you sooooo much for showing each step as u go.
Nancy, your are indeed an artist! I have never seen such beautiful art in cloth form. Thank you for your videos, your explanation motivates me to try to make at least a small quilt. The fabrics that you select are artistic on their own.
Thank you! I would like to make my own designs for paper piecing and wondered if you could share how the numbering works. Is there a system explaining the order of numbering the pieces? Hope this makes sense... Love your work!
Hi Kate, the numbers is usually from the inside out - so if you were doing a log cabin you would start with the center and the numbers follow as the rows go out. Having said that, i do most of my paper piece designing on the Electric Quilt program, then it pretty much numbers it for me! :) Nancy
I am learning a lot from your videos and love your background quilts! Your selection of quilt colors is amazing to me. I would love to purchase some of the patterns like the tulip centered paper piecing quilt. How can I purchase patterns from this and other background quilts that are used in your videos?
With your video I am confident I can try this and make it turn out like it’s suppose to but I am confused on when you sew past the outside line of the pattern and when you don’t. If unsure can you stop at the outside line and have the pattern still be right?
Ive watched your video on the New York beauty with your tip to add an 1/8 to the outside edge. Do you do the same with this tulip block? I absolutely love your teaching style. thank you for all your great videos!
Hi Debra, I don't normally add the extra 1/8" to the edges of "noramal" paper pieced designs, but it doesn't mean you couldn't. the reason i find it helpful on the NYB is becuase of the curved piecing, that seems to distort the block so that extra helps it be square in the end.Thanks for the question,Nancy
I know this is quite some time ago but i have a question that I’m sure you can answer. Is the wall hanging Sun Salutations paper picked the same was as the compass star quilt? Thymes directions are not very clear. Thank you in advance. I love, love your videos 😊
Hi Gail, I do cut the fabrics for those smaller pieces but always bigger than they need to be. Place your ruler on the piece and cut a fabric piece at least 1" bigger to accomidate the 1/4" seam allowance.Thanks for the quesiton - Nancy
Thank you, very easy and clear instructions. HOWEVER: How does one make a mirror image pattern? (The above does not need one). There are patterns which need to be made in the mirror image. Please help!
Hi Anna - honestly I don’t know, I have never tried. I’m wondering if that is something you can ask your copier to do? Is there a mirror image option on your copier? Good luck, I hope that helps.
I've never done paper piecing before. Your tutorial is wonderful. I was hoping to use your pattern, and follow along, but can't find your pattern. Can it be purchased anywhere?
Hi Linda, the pattern is available on our website www.onpoint-tv.com all of the individual lessons are available or you can purchase the entire "Learning to Quilt" pattern.
Hi Wendy :) - that quilt is the "Learning to Quilt" quilt - it is the pattern and instructions I wrote about 15 years ago and have been teaching at my local quilt shop here in Grand Rapids, MI - the pattern and all instructions are available for purchase on our website www.onpoint-tv.com - thanks for watching!!
If the design line is at the edge, I sew off. If the design starts or ends in the middle of the design I start and stop at the line. Hope this helps :)
It's been quite awhile since I paper pieced. I so appreciate how very clear your instructions are, you make it very understand!
This has been the most clear directions I've seen. Thank you for reinforcing the meticulous process. I look forward to trying it out.
Thanks😀
So clear both the instructions and the voice. Thank you very much.
You're very welcome!

Glad it was helpful!

I had taken a class many years ago and needed a refresher. I looked at several videos and found this one to be terrific - thank you!
You're very welcome!
Thank you for your suggestion.
Have read the books but this is a far clearer way to understand the method
I have watched so many videos and read so many articles about paper piecing and I just was not getting it. The I just stumbled onto your channel and read the title and sighed.

Just a reminder post for myself to start with 2 pieces facing each other! 3:10
You are a smart lady. Great way of not wasting fabric. Just add 1 inch to piece size to cut fabric! I see tutorials where plenty of fabric is wasted. Fabric is expensive to waste. At least it is in Canada
I forgot to mention, it's been years since I've done this and your video is Extremely helpful. Thank you!

very good. I am going to practice your show was very clear and concise. There was no showing off and rolling the eyes!
I am learning a lot from your videos and love your background quilts! Your selection of quilt colors is amazing to me. I would love to purchase some of the patterns like the tulip centered paper piecing quilt. How can I purchase patterns from this and other background quilts that are used in your videos?

Hi Cindy, by sewing off the edge on the lines that are on the edge of the pattern your seem allowance will just be more secure😊
Is your nail polish O.P.I Hello Kitty? That's one of my favorites.

Hello :) - I am not sure what the Sun Salutations pattern is. Can you send me a photo to QuiltingWithNancy@gmail.com ?
So before you even start the paper piecing, do you cut out all the small parts. knowing where they go?
Hi Gail, I do cut the fabrics for those smaller pieces but always bigger than they need to be. Place your ruler on the piece and cut a fabric piece at least 1" bigger to accomidate the 1/4" seam allowance.Thanks for the quesiton - Nancy

Thanks!
This tutorial is awesome......thank you for your teaching..and explaining. And, where can we purchase the. Add a quarter ruler
Thanks Lucille! Try your local quilt/sewing store for the ruler. They should be able to assist you.
Love the quilt behind you! Where can I get the pattern/kit! Great videos!
We're currently working on this. Stay tuned for more information this summer.
I've never done paper piecing before. Your tutorial is wonderful. I was hoping to use your pattern, and follow along, but can't find your pattern. Can it be purchased anywhere?
Hi Linda, the pattern is available on our website www.onpoint-tv.com
all of the individual lessons are available or you can purchase the entire "Learning to Quilt" pattern.
What is the name of the quilt hanging as a backdrop to Nancy's tutorial. It's beautiful and I'd love to get the pattern.
Hi Wendy :) - that quilt is the "Learning to Quilt" quilt - it is the pattern and instructions I wrote about 15 years ago and have been teaching at my local quilt shop here in Grand Rapids, MI - the pattern and all instructions are available for purchase on our website www.onpoint-tv.com
- thanks for watching!!
where can i found some patterns? Very interesting and instructif! Thanks.
Hi Therese - all my books and patterns are available on my website. This design is part of the "Learning to Quilt book". www.onpoint-tv.com
What determines when you sew past the line off the page and when you stop at the line where design ends?
If the design line is at the edge, I sew off. If the design starts or ends in the middle of the design I start and stop at the line.
Hope this helps :)
Verla trabajar anima a iniciarse en el patchwork. Venden online la regla que utiliza para cortar? Es de 1/4 de pulgada? Gracias por compartir.
