Foundation Paper Piecing for Beginners | Sewing Help Hotline - Maureen’s Call | FPP Steps
Hey sewists! 👋 Today’s video is all about Foundation Paper Piecing (FPP)-a beginner guide inspired by a call I received on my Sewing Help Hotline from Maureen. She wanted to know how to get started with FPP, and I’m here to walk you through all the steps!
In this video, I’ll show you how to sew up a FREE heart pattern from Liza Taylor Handmade. We’ll cover:
- What Foundation Paper Piecing is and why it’s such a fun and precise quilting technique.
- Step-by-step instructions for sewing your very first FPP pattern.
- Inspiring examples of FPP projects I’ve made to get your creative ideas flowing!
If you’re new to FPP or just looking to refine your skills, this tutorial has you covered.
Be sure to call my free Sewing Help Hotline at 1-833-LETS-SEW if you have any sewing-related questions, and I might answer them in a future video!

    I feel sad that basic sewing is no longer taught as a life skill in Junior High (Middle School) anymore. My son (he is 40 now) made a pillow in 7th grade and he still remembers the basics of sewing on a machine. But, as a teacher, you did a great job adapting to your class and doing what needed to be done to be sure all of your students were successful at the end. This elevates you from "teacher" to "educator." Good job!

    Hi, FYI, you don't have this machine threaded correctly. I see at 5:22 you don't have the thread passing through the "pig tail" (curled metal spiral) of the bobbin tensioner. It's supposed to go through that pig tail either when using the a cone or spool of thread. See Sailrite's video "How to Thread Your Ultrafeed Machine - It’s Easy!" to see. Also, at 5:36 you should always spin the balance TOWARDS you, not away from you to manipulate the needle.
