- In this tutorial I demonstrate how to use foundation paper piecing to make this mountain scene.
There are many variations in paper piecing techniques, I don't claim that mine is the best, but it works for me!
Jump to specific points:
- How to start the first piece 4:38
- Sewing on the second piece (all others after this are done in the same way) 5:50
- Sewing and ironing between each piece 8:27
- Ripping off paper 20:59
Top tips:
1. use batiks and solid colours if you want an easy life - there is no "right" side so less chance of errors
2. when ripping the paper off after piecing, work from the highest number piece to the lowest
Please let me know any comments and suggestions you have for the video and any requests for more tutorials!

This was a terrific tutorial! I am just starting with paper piecing and was having much trouble. I will save this and play it over and over again! You did a fabulous job! So happy I found you! Pam.❤😊
Thank you for marking the area where the piece needs to cover that helps a lot. I subscribed and liked 😊
I’m so glad i found this tutorial. I’ve watched so many others trying to learn this method. Your explanation and demonstration worked best with my brain. Thank you!!
Thanks! I'm glad you found it helpful!
After being one video away from giving up on paper piecing I watched this one and FINALLY sewed my way to victory! THANK YOU for clear wonderful directions and great camera viewpoints!
I'm glad it helped!
Excellent tutorial! I am 71 and just learning this technique. You go slowly and explain clearly what to do. Thanks so much!
Thanks for a clear and easy to follow step by step video explanation of paper piecing.
Thanks for your comment, I'm glad you found the tutorial helpful :)
BEST paper piecing tutorial EVER!!!
I agree with everyone else. This is the best video and it finally "clicked" for me after watching it. I had watched a webinar, then the recording of the webinar about 12 times, then about 2-3 other videos about PP. Yours was the absolute best and made sense. Not only can I follow a pattern, I can even fix a mistake I made along the way and get back to where I was. Ha ha. Thanks again!
I'm so happy to hear it helped! Thanks!
Really excellent tutorial used do a lot of paper piecing but completely forgot perfect thank you so much.
Great Tutorial....so easy to follow.....Thank You ...from Canada 🇨🇦
I'm glad you found it easy to follow. Thank you for your comment!
Thank you very much for a very clear and easy to follow tutorial. It was helpful to see you make the square all the way through to the end. I can't wait to give it a try!
Jennifer Oliver thank you Jennifer, that's great to hear. I hope you enjoy making it!
Thank you so much I was really flustered before I came to your tutorial I think I can do this!!
Best beginner FPP I’ve watched yet. Thank you so much.
Nice job of demonstrating what can be a very perplexing process!! I'm saving your video to watch again (and again and again...).
Thank you! I took a paper piecing class about 10 years ago and could not remember how to do it. I was able to put together my pattern with these instructions. As an aside, your voice is quite pleasant to listen to.
I cannot tell you how many "I will show you how" and at the end I am still just as confused. THANK YOU for being different - I think I get it. I have added you and keeping this video on watch later. THANK YOU!
THANK YOU thank you thank you! for the tip of keeping the paper folded back while positioning the new piece. For years I have been frustrated, holding the paper up to the light,holding the new piece over its pattern piece, trying to be sure it would fit properly when I flipped the piece over to make the seam. And then so often it didn't.
I have watched so many tutorials on paper piecing that have left me confused and frustrated, yours was so much easier to understand. I might actually accomplish this project 😊. Thanks so much.
Thanks so much! Drawing the sections on the back of the folded paper for each section is brilliant! You are a very good teacher.
That's very kind of you to say, thank you!
Excellent tutorial. Will now go to start my first project. Thank you
Grateful for your very clear explanation and demonstration. By far the best video I have seen.
I'm glad you found the video helpful, thank you!
Thank you very much for your clear tutorial and the free pattern. I really appreciated seeing this process to the finish. Some of us need that!
I'm glad that you found it useful. Thank you!
Thank you very much! This will be my first time trying to do paper piecing. With your so explicit tutorial I am sure I will get it right.
Thank you! I hope you enjoy the project - fpp takes a bit of getting used to but then it's really fun :)
Your instructions are the clearest I have found.Thank you for making it clear to follow with no useless guff
Very nice technique.Thank you .
Thank you so much for this very easy to follow tutorial. I am brand new to paper piecing and I was totally lost. Your video helped me to understand what was going on.
The best tutorial on the subject that I have watched.
Thank you for your video. I finally got it!! I have had a wall hanging forever and now I understand how to put it together.
Thank you so much for this tutorial and pattern. This was so helpful and i just made my very first mountain block. All tutorials should be like this.
Thank you for the lovely comment!
@@etiveco3480please help me get the paper piecing for Eviteandco the one you was doing now
Amazing tutorial and fabulous video thanks for sharing your beautiful ideas
I loved your tutorial! I feel like I could easily understand the process.
Thank you for sharing the pattern too! What a great opportunity to practice the technique.
I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it. Thank you 🙂
This was the best fpp tutorial I have watched.... Cant wait to mke these mountains!
Thank you for creating this tutorial, it is very helpful, and I truly appreciate it. It’s been a while since I’ve done FPP and this was a fantastic refresher.
Thank you for your great instructions. I watched step by step as I created mine. I am hooked. Looking for new patterns now.
very clear instructions, thank you, I feel ready to tackle a New York Beauty pattern.
It amazes me all of the different methods that are out there! I enjoyed your tutorial very much!
This is the best tutorial I've seen for FPP. Can't wait to try. Thank you. You are a good teacher.
Thank you for this very clear tutorial on paper piecing. I have watched quite a few and this is by far the best and easiest to understand. Thanks too for the pattern, very useful to have.
That was terrific! You made the whole process easily understandable! Someone on Reddit linked me to this video of yours and now, I can tell you that I am hooked! I’ve never done foundation paper piercing but it looks fun, a great way to use up fabrics in my fabric stash. Plus a brilliant idea to make cool presents for people.
I can see a block being turned into a quilted cushion cover or even, if one is very adventurous, an entire quilt. For me though, to do a quilt this way all the blocks would have to “go” together. Meaning they would all need the same theme. Anyway, thank you so much for a brilliant tutorial! Yes, I subbed immediately, lol. I do hope that at some stage you start posting video’s again. I do hope that life is great for you and you’ve simply been too busy to post more.
I would love to watch more of your tutorials, thank you.😊
Great tutorial!!! Your guidance was spot on!!! Thank you
Simply superb tutorial. Thanks so much!
I'm glad you found it useful. Thank you!
Can you please tell me where I can find that paper piecing and what is the name of this?
@@AlliisonNeal-fi9rx this comment may be in the wrong place
Thank you for the great tutorial. Really good step by step instructions.
Would you consider doing a video on how to deal with directional fabrics? That would be so helpful. Thank you in advance.
Fantastic tutorial, thanks for the lesson!
Just found this, one of the best!!! Thank you so "sew" much!
Bravo👏👏👏👌👌👌Thank you ever so much for the great tutorial ❣️ I have never used this technique before, but your very clear instructions and guidance make me want to try it😀 I am so grateful to find your tutorial. Thanks a million👍😘🧸❤️
Thank you for the tutorial! Was a great first FPP block for a beginner.
That was great I have been wanting to do this for some time. Thank you for the video and the patten. Have a wonderful day😊
Yeah!!!!! This is such a great explanation and makes it soooooo much easier to understand than some others I’ve watched. Thanks so much. I’m off to see if you made one about directional fabric now :-) x
You are so creative! Thanks for sharing a new technique. 😊
Excellent demo. Nice pace so was easy to follow and absorb the information.
Omg! So helpful! Thank you!
Can't wait to try it! You make it seem easy so I'm excited to get going!
Perfect! Thank you!
Love watching your demonstration of foundation paper pacing you explained it beautifully. I can’t wait to try my first piece. I have a question though all foundation paper sings have to have straight edges or they have curves.
More complex patterns…..my, I find this one complex enough, not certain I could manage this….as I have never done anything like this…thank you for “clear” instructions….
Great tutorial !!
Of all the videos I've watched yours is the only one that makes any sense. Is they a video to explain your process explaining how you drew the initial drawing/pattern? Would like to create my own, but I'm not sure how to begin.
Thank you. This is very clear and understandable.
Thank you. You make it look so easy.
Thank you for pattern and tutorial.
Good instructions.
Excellent tutorial! Thank you for sharing with us!
Thank you!
Nice! Thank you.
SUPER helpful - thank you so much!
great instruction. I hope you make more videos
well done....
Great tutorial. If you wanted the mountain scene to be reversed so the larger mountain is on the left how would you do that? Thank you.
Great video. Can you tell me what you would do if you wanted the pattern reversed - as in the mountain on the right. I just purchased a pattern that says the pieces are a mirror image of the finished image as you look at. This needs to be
Love your tutorial. What is the best fabric to use for these projects?
I thought i could post my pic, oh well, thank you again
Hi, I am probably blind, but I cannot find this mountain scene. Can you help me please? I thought maybe your Easter egg bundle was it because it was free.
Very nice but your cutter must not be open while it's not in use.
Great video but please put your blade away. I did that one and sliced my hand which went down the side of it. I've never done it again.
Anyone know how to get the pattern?
where is free pattern can not find it? or did I find this to many years later
Hello, the pattern is here: payhip.com/b/BFL8
The pattern is no longer available?
Hi Mali, the pattern is no longer on Craftsy but you can get it from my Payhip shop for free. Payhip.com/etiveandco sorry for the confusion! Thanks, Diane
@@etiveco3480 - Thank you for the free pattern. Your website is fantastic and everyone should visit it and purchase your beautiful patterns! I will be! :)
@@MAC35REM Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy making the mountains!
@@etiveco3480 OMGoodness! I just had a peek at your shop and I love all the patterns I saw there. I would ask if you could do a tutorial of all the steps for one of your more complicated patterns. Maybe like the praying mantis with all
it’s tiny feet being separate pieces. Or any of them really.
The other video I would LOVE would be on choosing fabrics. It can be very important. Take your hare, for example, the material you used for his eye makes the final piece awesome. If the at wasn’t there he would have a completely different look. So, I would really love and appreciate videos in those topics if you are, hopefully, still up for making and posting videos....? Please...? 🙏🏻🤩❤️
Thank you!
