By Request: Getting Started with English Paper Piecing

This video is by request. There are lots and lots and lots of professional grade How-To videos out there on English Paper Piecing. Please check those out if I don't explain it coherently enough. :-) Have a great day!

I do a very small amount of paper piecing when I need a change of interest. It is so relaxing to do. I’ve only made three full size quilts and feel that’s enough, but I do like smaller projects. I love watching anything you do. I want to do a little crazy quilting and it will be nice to refer back to your videos as I love your stitching. I actually dislike hand quilting, but don’t mind the patchwork side of things. I admire anyone so committed. Tfs x

Hi Mary! I think EPP is relaxing, too. I realize we're probably in the minority. :-) I'm also the same, where I much prefer the patchwork or the creative part of a quilt rather than the actual quilting. And if it's just a quilt to throw on one of the grandkid's beds or something like that, I usually end up machine quilting it or having my local shop quilt it. Because, not only do I not enjoy that part, but I don't have the time for it. So happy to hear from you. Hope you are doing well. xo

I am just a beginner…..and have tried both sewing and gluing….I prefer glue also…..I have only made pin cushion projects…..but now need to branch out to a bigger project……your presentation made me feel comfortable as I don’t prefer the sewing machine…..And I too use the eye glass covers for storing and easy carrying around…..ie my crochet hooks, shorter knitting sock needle…..hahahaha

Hi, Loretta. ❤ I sure do love and appreciate your videos! I'm considering taking on the Lucy Boston quilt as my next project!

[@sparrowhawkerdesigns]

Thank you! Lucy Boston is definitely a commitment, but that's okay. We're going to be stitching anyway. :-) xo
