The best tutorial for paper piecing I've watched. Great no pulling off and you can reuse the paper.
I have not done this technique yet, but I suggest writing the piece numbers on the back so you will know which is next.
The “add a quarter” ruler is a great help too.
I have heard that Winne...thank you for reminding me of it 💛✅
Agreed! I love that ruler.
Using a stitch in the ditch foot gives you a good guide for sewing next to the folded paper. Thanks for the video! ❣️
Wow great idea!!!✅ Thank you so much💛
@@TheSewingChannel Tracy, maybe you cd demo this idea with a close up? I get confused with some of these “helper feet” ! Thx. 🌷
Hi Tracy. So glad you shared this technique with everyone. It is one I have been using for years, however, I use freezer paper so glue is not necessary. Just touch with an iron and the pattern stays put where you want it until you peel it away. Great video!
Thank you for the tip!✅
Just a thought: IDT you can put freezer paper thru a laser printer w/o melting it, so for those of us w/o an ink jet: be forewarned. 😮😬😂
@@susanmei9980
Sorry but want to make sure I understand what you said. You can use a laser printer with freezer paper but not an ink jet printer ?
And, on what side of the paper should the design be printed ? The shiny part or the paper part ? TYIA !
@@gigiontube Sorry but you got it backwards: Laser printers heat up to fuse the toner onto the paper, so you don’t want to run thru anything that will melt, such as freezer paper or sheets of fusible web. The upside is that if your printed paper gets wet, the ink won’t run.
However, ink jets do not heat up. They just print with ink. The down side is that if your printed page gets wet, the ink will run. But ink tanks are also quite pricey, and run out quickly; or dry up if you don’t print regularly. I got tired of the expense.
When printing on freezer paper, you want to print on the dull, non-shiny, paper side. The shiny side has the plastic film, and that is the side you will iron onto your fabric.
With fusible web, you print on the smooth paper side, and the bumpy side gets ironed onto your fabric. The bumps are the glue.
(You can hand trace your design onto freezer paper and fusible web if you only have a laser printer.)
Hope this helps! 🌷

Thank you much. I actually printed on regular paper, pinned every beginning and the end points of all lines through that paper AND the freezer paper, and then draw the lines on freezer paper with a ruler from point to point. I was curious about printing directly on freezer paper. I pick designs with straight lines only for this kind of projects.
Thank you again. 🍀
Wow, I will have to practice this.
Fast and fun!🎉
I like the point of the paper being reusable! Thanks!
Me too Pam!✅
I have been quilting for 35 years, & still learning so much! That is amazing…..
This works great though I do fold just to the side the lines so the stitch falls where the line would be when straightened. This approach makes much more sense to me when it comes to ensuring the fabric is facing the right direction, etc. I use regular copy paper and the glue stick.
It's about time someone came up with an easier way! Hurray!
LOL I know! Right!!!!🎊
Thank you so much. Your teaching is exceptional. 👍
Thank you so much for that awesome video and for the free pattern. I look forward to trying this technique. BTW, I tried getting the free lone star pattern but had a hard time getting it.
Using freezer paper with the same technique and you don't have to use glue. The plastic coded freezer paper will stick to the fabric with the heat of an iron. Peel off and reuse over and over again. Just use your inkjet printer to print the pattern on the paper side and the coated side will stick to the fabric.
My gosh, this process makes so much more sense. I also like you can be more sure that the size of fabric will cover the section needed. Really appreciate this, thanks
You are the best… I have watched numerous tutorials, on how to paper piece. You are by far the best teacher. You explain it in a way so someone can understand it
Wow, thank you! Keep in mind though that this is not the "traditional way" to paper piece....this is my way LOL😂
I could watch you all day, you are a very good teacher!!
Wow, thank you!
This makes so much more sense. Thank you
Never tried FPP before, this looks like a good way to try and being able to reuse your paper, I must try this technique
OMGraciousness!!! How did I never know this?!!!
Thank you
I love paper piecing, but this kicks it up a notch! ❤
Keep me posted on how it works for you Beth✅💛
Hi Tracy, I’ve been quilting since the early 80’s and I’ve never seen this technique before!!! This looks like a total game changer. TFS! Truly! 🌷
You’re welcome ❣️
Enjoyed watching how you did that. Thanks for making such helpful tricks x
You’re welcome 😊
This is a wonderful, time saving, and paper saving method. Thank you for this video. When we were locked down I could not go to the library to make my copies. Even our local copy shop was shut down. Thank you so much!
Yes Arvetta...this method is perfect for those who cannot re-print often✅
I just tried to learn how to do FPP this weekend and had a difficult time grasping the concept. Then today I found your video! You have inspired me to give it another try.
😅 Tracy you are a GENIUS!! I am definitely going to try this simplified method. I love your videos and have learned a lot from you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! 🥰😊
Glad it helped! You totally got this Sandy!!!💛
You're a genius, Tracy!!!🤯 Bless you for this demo!!! I've bought the papers before, but it just as such an overwhelming pain! Thank you for this! I'm going to try it very soon!
YAYYYY!!!! So in love with this. I'm ready to jump into some paper piecing and this will be my first. As always Tracy you're amazing ❤️❤️❤️Thank you for link
Yay! You're welcome Terri....do some easy blocks first until you get the hang of it...it's totally different than the traditional way✅
I've seen this method done with freezer paper, but plain paper and glue stick looks faster and easier. Thanks! Maybe I'll start thinking about doing a big Storm at Sea again... And I wonder if a zipper foot would be a good thing to try. Have to experiment....
Yes experiment for sure. Having the foot part way on paper while sewing may have helped keep things together 🤷🏻♀️try and let me know✅
Thank you for sharing technique
Thank you! I was just getting ready to photocopy a zillion pineapple patterns.
Thanks!
You're welcome Doralee💛
I need to do a lot of skate paper pieced blocks! This is gonna help me save paper and frustration!
greatest thing since sliced bread! Love it.
You are a wonderful teacher, and have the sweetest personality! I’ve learned a lot from your tutorials. I will now dare attempt one of the paper piecing patterns in my Udder-ly Crazy pattern book.
Tracy, thanks again for the tutorial on FPP, will finish what I've started and get on with the new. I'm 69 and want to cream all this new quilting into 20-15 years or a bit longer. Been asewer sonce 6th grade. Started quilting, many thanks to you on your Free motion tutorials. Surfing TH-cam, found "Teresa Down Under".
She has many more patterns just as you have here. Thank you for teaching me. Still loving my new hydrolic table.
Appreciate You
Jill
You're welcome Jillaine💛 Thank you for supporting my channel💛
Best video on Facebook I’ve seen! I was afraid to try, now I’m not!
Glad it was helpful Janet!!!💛
I found this interesting. I haven't sewn foundation paper piecing yet, but seriously thinking about it someday.
Awesome!💛
Hey! you just changed my life! Thank you so much. Working with the blocks in the Jane Sickle quilt - lol - thought maybe i'd try foundation piecing and found your video....Whoa....thats a lot more fun than working with .75 " strips!
Hi Tracy !
I watched several videos where freezer paper is used for the same purpose. What I like about yours, you don’t have to take a trip to the ironing area after each piece is sewn, to glue the fabric to the paper. So, it’s a give and take on choosing what paper to use, based on a particular situation.
I also like your idea of using that “marking” tool, to perforate the lines on paper. Another lady on YiuTube was FIRST sewing over the lines without threads, just to perforate the lines on paper and only after that start to work on block. I like your method much better ! Much easier and convenient. 👍
Glad I did not remove the threads on my machine before watching your video 😉
Keep up the good work Tracy. Your ideas are very useful to many many of us 👏👏👏
❤ Amazing 💜 Now I understand how to FPP, something just clicked with your technique. How exciting I can’t wait to make a quilt now😊
This seem so easy, Thanks for the class.
WOW!! I've done 2 FPP projects and love yours the most. TFS
Thank you for a very precise explanation of FPP. This is what I need to complete my Dear Jane "hand pieced" quilt started many years ago and have been looking for instructions using a sewing machine. I finally found it! Thank you and I love your videos.
Thank you for the kind feedback Linda....although this is not traditional foundation paper piecing...it is much easier and less time consuming✅ Have fun making your dear jane quilt💛
I enjoyed learning a new way to paper piece. Thank you.
You are so welcome!💛
OH! MY! Such a great idea. Will be trying this as soon as I walk into my sewing room 😁 Thank you for another great idea!!!
You are so welcome Pam...come back and comment here how it turned out for you....I've been playing around today with more difficult blocks and it works every time🤷🏻♀️✅
I shared your videos with a bunch of quilters.😊
I LOVE THIS TUTORIAL!! thank you so much - you are my fave because I can understand and see what you are doing....
🥰
Have you ever seen this using freezer paper? That way you don’t have to use glue! I love your videos! Thanks for always brightening my day!!
Thank you for this video. Much appreciated.
Hello Tracy, I'm hooked on your videos! LOL! I love, love, love your work....AND YOUR CHANNEL! ❤ I've watched several quilting channels demonstrating FPP; but they showed very little detail and whizzed through their videos so fast it was very difficult to understand their techniques. Thank you for thoroughly demonstrating and explaining how to do this new FPP technique. As a visual learner, this method is very easy to grasp! You are a wonderful instructor!👍
Just did a test block this way and loved it! Thank you!
Thank you so much for your video! I am new to paper piecing, and have tried doing it many different ways, but your video is the easiest! I will be sharing your video with my friends. Thank you again. 😊
Thanks love thus
You're welcome💛
I have been using my tracing wheel for awhile now. This is so much easier to fold those lines and get accurate measurements.
This sure is the easy way to do this block. I was looking to try this block but was finding it somewhat not the easiest but now I WILL try it!
I'm going to try this sewing technique today!
Wonderful! I use the washable glue sticks in sewing all the time.
Too Cool! You my friend are great! I never liked paper piecing, but this makes a big difference to me.
And you are so sweet!!!💛
@@TheSewingChannel I have a question regarding “your” tube. If you would like to email me
gglovesthelord
I am keeping my Grandchildren in a different location watching on their Big screen TV , the question has to do with continued watching. I am with my own iPad also.
But I would rather as you personally the ?
You can always email me at thesewingchannel33@gmail.com ✅
I would like to see that done with a more intricate pattern please please please!
I'll see what I can do✅
Another great stress relief quilting technique! You make my day. AGAIN!
At about 6:50, when adding '4', a lightbulb went on. You put the fabric over the paper to see if it will fit. Brilliant! I suppose I could add a tiny registration cut in the seam allowance of both pieces together. That way I could line it up perfectly when I put the right sides together. No more errors in pieces not fitting! Ta-da!
TaDa! 🎊🎉✅💛
Tracy
This is awesome.. you truly are great
Naw....you are very kind though...❤️
Holey moley! Genius 😁
I saw this technique a few years ago and tried it out on a sample block, really nice results. I might try it again thank you
Glad it was helpful!💛
This will allow me to try FPP. Thank you so much for this video and the links.
Awesome!
I am just getting started in FPP and this is a game-changer!!!! THANKS !!!!!
You're welcome Anne💛
YAY!! Now I have a new use for my pattern tracing wheel.😀
LOL...we are bringin' back the tracing wheel Cathryn LOL😆
Have not seen this done before going to give it a try and i also like it done this way
Much easier for sure Pamela✅
You are an excellent teacher
Wow, thank you Jonnie...and thank you for the encouragement...I appreciate it very much💛
Wow Tracy! That was genius! Thanks so much.
Glad it was helpful Mary Ann💛
so cool! thanks for showing - i am just starting with fpp but will give this technique a try!!!
Beautiful and well demonstrated. Thank you for sharing!
You're welcome Christine...this technique is quick too✅
Thank you. I’ve just ordered my first FPP book of patterns. I can’t wait to try your technique.You have demonstrated such clear and simple instructions to follow.
You are so welcome!
We did this a few months ago at our quilt guild. Isn’t it fun! Great video! Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome! I couldn't get over how much quicker this method is and it was the exact same outcome🤷🏻♀️
I love this method of fpp. Thanks for sharing!
You are so welcome!💛
Wow. That’s amazing. I havnt seen that before! Thank you for sharing
You are so welcome💛
I would recommend using the edge guide foot with 1 click to the right to get a snug, accurate line for this method and move line of sight ahead of the foot.
Great idea Leisa✅
This is a great trick! I love to do FPP but have never tried it this way. This will save the printing of multiple patterns. Which is how I have done it. I don’t use paper usually, but I have when in a hurry and don’t want to look for my foundation sheets. I don’t usually tear them off either. I just leave them in the quilt. They are a soft webbing-like material that give stabilization to the block in the end. You can tear them off but I don’t usually. If I use paper I do tear it off and I hate doing it. This method will eliminate my purchasing the FPP sheets for sure. Thanks! I love FPP because you NEVER lose your points and your seams are always perfectly straight! ❤
New to backstitch at the beginning and end.
If you use freezer paper and iron it onto the fabric, you don't need glue and saves time
You can do it that way too✅
Thanks Tracy. Have downloaded the pattern and will definitely be giving this a whirl. Love your videos. This is another showstopper! I have several books on paper piecing and tried it, but was never a big fan of all the paper ripping. This looks like way more fun.
Great! Have fun with it Mary!🎊
Thank you. I use this method with freezer paper, as it has the added bonus of sticking temporary to the fabric.
That totally works too✅
Thank you so much for this! You always have the best and most creative videos! I’ve never tried FPP but would like to try and this method will be what I use. Is there a good beginner pattern you’d recommend?
Wow😮thank you so much, I will try doing for this way.👏👏
Much easier this way for sure✅
Thank you, Tracey for a excellent video on paper piecing...working on a quilt now that has some in it.
Glad it was helpful Joy...less stressful this way without sewing and tearing paper LOL😆
Thanks so much for this tip!
Good technique Tracy, I don’t use paper piecing because I do not like sewing upside down and backwards. I’ll give this a try. Have a good week! Thank you for sharing, 🥰 Chris
Definitely give this one a try Chris✅ Let me know how it goes✅
That's a fabulous tutorial, thank you.
You're very welcome Meg💛
Have always loved this star. Is it possible to sew this as a QAYG block? I have such a tiny sewing space that I can only do quilts as QAYG.
This is great! Thanks for sharing. Going to try this soon. Looks like a lot of fun to try. Super tip. Starring to quilt and see these patterns but just thought you had to cut them out and do them. Thanks again!
This is a much easier way for sure...✅
While I like my FPP doing that block your way is wonderful. Started my cathedral window quilt this week. Love ya Tracy!
Awesome Polly....so happy you started the cathedral window...just remember it's a marathon quilt ...relax and enjoy💛
I started my Cathedral Window many months ago. Mine will be white and squares are all blue. I did not sew my four corners together and it worked out good. I used my stiletto to hold it still if needed, I knew I would never make it if I had to sew all squares together by hand. To avoid having to deal with whole quilt through the whole process I’ve made mine with 3x8 squares. When I get ready to put the whole quilt together I’m going to start in the middle putting the strips together and filling in blue colored squares as needed. To finish all the edge pieces I’m going to save all the edge strips and fold edges just without the colored squares. Then I will attach them to the quilt filling in colored squares. This is a king size bedspread. I have 5 - 3x8 strips to go. I will never make another one. I will have to say Tracy’s looks so much better than mine but no one will notice looking at it on the bed.
Good Luck
Cynthia I bet it looks amazing! Way to go!🎊🎉🎊
Love your personality!
Thank you for your support Linda👍🏻💛
Excellent, this method is so good!
Glad it was helpful Julie💛
This is great. Tks. I've seen this with freezer paper but felt clumsy using that. This seems so much better.
Glad it was helpful!
If you have a machine that will allow you to position your needle to the left or the right of center, you could try stitching along the pattern with the edge stitch foot or edge joining foot. Both have a guide that can ride along the folded edge of the pattern; just remember to position you needle slightly to the right of the guide.
Thanks for the info!
Thank you for this tip!
Beautiful!
Can you please do a tutorial or provide a link to the star behind you? I love it.
The link to the star is in the description box below the video✅
Thank you, thank you. So clever to put the white strip so the star is floating.
Awesome new technique , gonna love trying it . Thank you ! Have a great weekend! ❤
Thank you! You too Coleen!!💛
Thank you! This is a great technique! I've always wanted to try paper piecing. ☺
Glad it was helpful!💛
I love this technique, thanks so much for showing how to do it. I never wanted to paper piece because of having to tear all those papers out, now I think I will work on a paper piecing project.
Glad it was helpful Donna!✅
Thank you, so much! I am an experienced seamstress and intermediate quilter, but new to foundation paper pricing. I am working on the atomic starburst pattern and wonder if you have tried this method on that project, yet? I’d love to see you do it on video. 😊
Wow thanks I just started FPP does this work with small pieces or just large pieces in the blocks??
Thank you so much, very easy to follow….
