Wow! So informative. I never knew about how the direction of thread may cause knots. Thanks for the tips. The little metal pieces to hold your pieces together remind me of my workplace name tags. I have never EPP but I may have to try it after all of these videos.
After 50+ years of sewing I have learned more of the whys about the tools, needles, papers, threads, etc. in this awesome tutorial. Thank you, Thank You, Thank You.
Oh, I used thread from a bobin too. Now I know to first cut the thread and then thread from the other end when using it from a bobin. Great to know ! On the other video, you were talking about licking the thread situation and why is not good to do it. I’ve done that too. Now, I’m cutting off that licked thread if I still lick it to go easier through needle. Thank you Tula !
This series of english paper piecing is wonderful and informative . Tula pink is an excellent teacher and converted me to do epp. But I also want to thank fat quarter shop for bringing this tutorial to us
The mnemonic I learned, when I first learned to sew as a child, to keep thread on grain is ‘knot the end you cut’. I’ve always remembered and followed it 🦋
I like that!! I hope you won't mind me using it as I teach my small group of would-be sewers at church. I try to explain the concept, but by the time I get to the end of the lesson, they're rolling their eyes and don't have time to sew!! LOL
Man, I’ve been sewing for 20+ years, and I have learned new things from both of these English paper piecing videos. A million thanks for giving us such useful information, and not just for EPP. You rock harder than Heart in 1976.
This was a true Master Class! Brilliant! Learned so much about so many things in Parts 1 and 2, looking forward to Part 3. Tula you are a gifted teacher, along with all your other talents and creativity. Thank you for this series, Tula and FQS.
I am not an EPP lover but after watching Tula I just might try it, Will definitely keep watching. She is so good at explaining why you do certain thing or why not.
Oh my goodness Tulla, you're like the Johnny Carson for quitting and sewing notions. All the notions you use and explain how to use them become "got to have it" items. I love the magnetic sewing pins. Now I "got to have it." You are an amazing artist, thank you so much for sharing with us all.
Tula is such an inspiration! She’s absolutely correct about thread. I also thread my needle on the spool since thread does have a right end and wrong end to be threaded through the needle. I learned this several months ago and it really does change hand sewing. I will be getting some of the big eye needles she talked about. Love everything she taught us today. Going to go look at her hardware collection. This girl knows what she is talking about and I for one am going to listen and use the best products. I have fibromyalgia and arthritis which both take a toll on your body. She’s done all the figuring out for us. Thank You Tula. You go girl.
So, I am on the homestretch of finishing, what I am calling my Covid Quilt......English paper pieced, all handsewn!!! Happened upon your amazing 3 episode tutorials about the craft......amazing! Of course, I sure wish I had watched before I started my project, but watching after 8 or 9 weeks of daily handstitching, I was pleased to learn that I had done some things correctly......and some things that plagued me and would have been easily solved if I had happened upon you earlier! In any case, I watched all 3 episodes last night, I love all of the tips, your practical solutions, and, mostly, your sense of humor! I died laughing a couple of times. As I get to the end of my project, i will not lie, I have said to myself, “while I am proud and glad I did this, I will never EPP again!” After watching you, I am reinspired......who knows? Thank you so much
I am over the moon I found this. I have been afraid to start a epp quilt with mostly Tula Pink fabric, she is using alot of the fabrics, gave me a confidence boost to get started.
You are like a textile scientist! A walking encyclopedia! Now I know why my thread knots when I hand sew! Now to figure out how to remember to pull it off the correct way! 😆
This is a wonderful series, thank you Tula Pink and Fat Quarter Shop. I just got everything for Tula Nova, this will be my first EPP project, and now I feel confident to give this a try.
Omg! I just found you. I feel like I found sunshine. I've learned more from you in 3 hours than I've learned about quilting in years. And you opened my world to English paper piecing which I thought looked impossible. This is fantastic!
Tula Pink, thank you so much. Your "deep" information about thread was marvelous. I have never heard it explained in such detail before, and now I completely understand. And I have been sewing for over 60 years. Thanks again. Virginia in Ohio
I watched your videos on designing fabric. I enjoyed them and learned a lot. At the time I thought "I think I like her!" Then watched Part 1 of EPP and thought "No, I think I love her!" Now after Part 2 I know I love you. You speak to the crafter. You know we all want little secrets on how to do things faster and with less hassle. For that I thank you. People, listen to her on the thread!!!!!! She right! I learned the hard way.
I could listen to her all day. She has a wonderful personality. She has taught me how to paper piece in all things important. She is unique & fabulous. You go girl, thank you. Kathy Snider
Thank you for all this info-- I just recently started EPP and I LOVE it and LOVE your info and fabrics. I've been garment sewing for 40+ years, but now I'm learning so many new things and I love the EPP quilts. Thanks again!!
OMG! I have been sewing forever and I have learned so much about sewing today by watching this video. I never stopped to think about why my thread would get knots or how much tension I was putting on my hands and body. I have started working on "self-care" more and you have shown me a lot of "self pain." Thank you for opening my eyes, people have always said "What you don't know won't hurt you." But you prove my thought, "that what you don't know, can hurt you a lot." Once again thank you for breaking these things down to where I could understand more.
You are truly a talented teacher! You have an observant, analytical mind and it’s such a joy to listen to your explanations. I learned so much in these twenty minutes. Thank you so much! ❤️
Tula, you are a great instructor. Articulate, knowledgeable, and confident in your delivery. I have always shyed away from EPP, but I want to give it a try. Thank you so much.
I love how you teach! I feel that you explain in the exact way that makes sense to me. And I love all the fun facts - like thread has a grain. That explains a lot.
Thank you Tula, two marvellous videos, I also only sew with Tulip needles, they are expensive but fabulous to sew with. I loooove the magnetic pins, that is a need, pure and simple. I also glue and hack - first video - as life is far too short for tacking and basting! Am off to look at video three. By the way it is worth having a kindle just for your lesson in thread alone, that was marvellous, I use Wonderful thread which is also great. The thing is not to use cheap needles or thread, you get what you pay for in sewing that's for sure. I will remember about the microscopic Christmas trees forever, brilliant.
thank you sooo much for taking the time to explain all the reasons why and how to make thread work for us, and reasons for the tools you use in sewing/EPP. Love, love, love this series! And I am not a newbie, I’ve been sewing for years. I am just getting myself acquainted with EPP, some of the information I knew, and some I had never heard. Thank you for sharing your talent!
All 3 episodes are just summary of all good tips and hints I have learned myslef sewing Nova. Thank you for elaborating loudly what I got to know so far . The fact I got the same habbits and using the same hints make the quilt a master piece not just regular quilt. Details make a difference!
Every person who hand sews, or cross stitches should watch this video and pay attention to the information about thread. It’s so true. I noticed very recently that my floss, no matter what dyer or manufacturer has a right and a wrong way to go thru the needle. The right way never knots, the wrong way constantly curls up and knots.
Wow! The amount of information Tula shares in these videos is incredible! And, who knew about the difference between the two thread holders? I do now! Thanks, Tula and Fat Quarter Shop!
I am a newer quilter and since I started quilting (and doing EPP) recently I've always loved Tula Pink...thank you so much for making these videos!!! Please keep them coming.
This series is brilliant. The information and tips are priceless and Tula is such a natural teacher. Plus, she’s funny. Thank you and I love you Tula ❤️
Tula, you are awesome! Your videos on EPP are so easy to understand, you are one.very talented lady that i.can watch for hours and learn so much from, even thou i have been sewing for over 60_years. Thank you FQS for hosting Tula. Your humor is such a great addition! Love you, and thanks for the journey on EPP.
Nothing can lead to "carpal tunnel" as carpal tunnel is a body part. Sincerely a person suffering from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). I am absolutely LOVING this EPP series. I have always been intimidated by it and your three videos so far are making it seem attainable as a skill [= . HUGE THANK YOU for that.
Tula this was awesome!! I've been teaching (one-on-one or small groups at church) thread spool anatomy and how to put the spool onto the machine and how to thread a needle so that you don't get knots, just like you explained today. Hooray!! But I never understood WHY things work the way that they do with thread. And being a registered nurse (retired) it's important to me to understand the whys of things. I've never been really good with "just do as I say, not as I do," etc. In nursing we learn how the body works at the microscopic level--cells and stuff. In sewing we need to know WHY the thread doesn't knot as much when we thread the needle from the cut end of the thread and then tie a knot in the next end that you cut. So don't pull the thread through the needle and tie a knot in the end that went through the eye of the needle first. It's hard to explain, isn't it? But such an important concept. Now I know WHY, at the microscopic level, that that concept is true which does my little heart good!! I've also been guilty of taking a 3 foot length of thread and sewing with it hoping not to have to re-thread my needle and then wondering why I kept getting pesky knots and worn thread despite having threaded my needle correctly. Now I know!! I love it!! You're a really good teacher, Tula, as well as a great designer and quilter. I'll be following you, my dear!! xx
Love all your super good tips. Oh my goodness. I never knew about the grain of the thread and the proper way of threading the needle. And I’m so guilty for grabbing my bobbins with left over thread to use. 🙋♀️ 🤦♀️ Love the little snips! Must have them and the scissors that grab! Such an informative tutorial. Thank you!
Tula Pink is great! This series of videos has completely inspired me to try quilting. This is saying something because I have sworn off new hobbies and completely Marie Kondoed my art and craft supplies. No regrets because so far this has a low barrier to entry and little equipment. I will say, I bought her rotary cutter and it is UNBELIEVEBLE. Back to stitching!
I'm glad I watched your explanation (all three videos) first, before I even thought of looking at others. Your video was perfect. The close ups were spot on. The 'public service announcements' were terrific! Best tutorials on EPP I've seen. Now everyone else sews backwards. LOL
I am so inspired my Tula and this series. I started watching this, because I had seen Tula on a Fat Quarter ‘Behind the Seams’ Video. I love her witty humour. 😂🤣😂 Honestly, I never even imagined ever taking up English paper piecing. Now I’m hooked. I’m going to begin with a pillow for my Aliner trailer as soon as I. An source the tools and materials! What? Thread has a grain? 🧐 Mind blown! Every day is a good day, when you learn something new! I can’t wait until the next instalment!💜
This just answered so many questions i never knew i needed to ask... ty ty ty ty for all ur wonderful insights and the many hours u took to work these things out so that those of us that come across this video now get the opportunity to use in our projects in the future... stay safe and happy quilting
I learned so much!! So glad you were curious enough to do a deep dive into the science of thread. and then share your findings. And the info about the micro-serrated scissors too. And I don't understand why manufacturers make microscopic size needle eyes - one of life's frustrating mysteries? Or maybe the manufacturer doesn't use the product and no one ever brought it to their attention? Looking forward to the next video in this series!
Wow! Thanks Tula Pink and Fat Quarter Shop! This has been a fabulous series! I’ve been doing EPP for years and still found some great tips and tricks! 😄
Wow Tula! This video was fabulous and learned so much about thread and tools! I don’t paper piece I quilt but you have definitely made me want to give this a try! I could watch you all day you are so knowledgeable and so funny at the same time. I love the airplane story about dropping something, you are right it’s gone😂😂!
Thank you so much for explaining thread!! It made so much sense and will come in handy when hand quilting also. Love you and your videos! You are a wonder💗💗💗💗💗
Mind. Blown. I am more than 1/2 a century old and I NEVER KNEW thread has a grain. That whole concept is mind boggling, why had nobody ever mentioned it! Tula has got me hooked on EPP, I've got to try it Now! I'll be placing an order for supplies TODAY!
I try to avoid hand sewing for most of the problems you mentioned plus I'm not good at it. But you have given me some great information which I will put to good use. Thank you.
Paper piecing has always been a mystery to me. Thank you so much for these videos. I may be brave enough to attempt! Can’t wait for the future videos! Thank you to Tula Pink andFQS-love love love
I’ve watched part 1 & 2 twice now and have learned so much. Thank you for making these videos. I had purchased all the supplies to make a LaPas and was about ready to give it up. This has inspired me and has helped overcome the struggles I was having.
I had no idea about the spool holders on the sewing machine being for the different direction spools of thread are made. Thank you for so many helpful hints!
I am sooo intrigued by your analysis! Being a retired engineer I love love love how in depth you go. It all makes perfect sense to me! I started watching your English Paper piecing videos after Angela Walters referred to you so many times in the quilt alongs I did with her. You ROCK!
Wow! So informative. I never knew about how the direction of thread may cause knots. Thanks for the tips. The little metal pieces to hold your pieces together remind me of my workplace name tags. I have never EPP but I may have to try it after all of these videos.
OMG that info about thread is a gamechanger!
After 50+ years of sewing I have learned more of the whys about the tools, needles, papers, threads, etc. in this awesome tutorial. Thank you, Thank You, Thank You.
50yrs of sewing i never knew about thread fantastic tutor thank you
Been a dressmaker for over 50 years, and you have taught me a whole lotta new stuff. Thank you so much!
Oh, I used thread from a bobin too. Now I know to first cut the thread and then thread from the other end when using it from a bobin. Great to know !

I've been sewing for almost 40 years and I never knew that about the different wind of the spools. Thank you!
The best explanation of how to handle thread I have ever heard. Thank you. This will keep my cussing to a minimum and help me not be so frustrated.
I agree!!
Tula is a great teacher. I love learning what to do and WHY!
Rewatching these videos for the third or fourth time, as finally have time to start an EPP project. Really informative.
50+ years of sewing and I just learned things about thread that I never knew! 😮 Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I thought I knew everything about quilting until you started talking about thread! Thank you!
Man, I’ve been sewing for 20+ years, and I have learned new things from both of these English paper piecing videos. A million thanks for giving us such useful information, and not just for EPP. You rock harder than Heart in 1976.
I so agree! Excellent information 💕🙏
I LOVE Tula's Mind, Spirit, & Creativity. She Is Living Who She Was Meant To Be. Bravo, Tula. Thank You For Being You. Blessings.
Yes, this
Really enjoyed this lecture too. How awesome to be able to attend a Tula Pink workshop from home during the pandemic
This was a true Master Class! Brilliant! Learned so much about so many things in Parts 1 and 2, looking forward to Part 3. Tula you are a gifted teacher, along with all your other talents and creativity. Thank you for this series, Tula and FQS.
Learned more in this video than in a hundred others I've seen. Excellent!!!
Amy D. B. Winters agree ditto!
Omg... have been sewing all my life and quilting for past 20 years. Learned SO much from this video about thread and other tools. THANK YOU TULA!!!
I am not an EPP lover but after watching Tula I just might try it, Will definitely keep watching. She is so good at explaining why you do certain thing or why not.
The detail on thread and needles is priceless! Thank you,❗️🥰
You are a fabulous teacher! Plenty of useful info explained in a way that makes so much sense. Another one of your many talents. Thank you
Love her analytical approach to the notions - everything is about making it easier and saving time - love it!
Thank you Tula!!!!!!! So helpful on what to use for good results.
The bit on thread was brilliant and hilarious, thanks again for all the reminders.
Oh my goodness Tulla, you're like the Johnny Carson for quitting and sewing notions. All the notions you use and explain how to use them become "got to have it" items.
I love the magnetic sewing pins. Now I "got to have it."

Tulip needles are great but I do agree. THE smallest eyes ever. I didn’t know they had big eye needles. Thanks for that.
Best ever EPP videos. Tula is awesome and Lily I know you are “behind it all”. Well done FQS
This is a wonderful series, thank you Tula Pink and Fat Quarter Shop. I just got everything for Tula Nova, this will be my first EPP project, and now I feel confident to give this a try.
This has been informative and entertaining in the best way. Thanks again FQS and Tula Pink.
Omg! I just found you. I feel like I found sunshine. I've learned more from you in 3 hours than I've learned about quilting in years. And you opened my world to English paper piecing which I thought looked impossible. This is fantastic!
Tula!! Your explanation of thread grain and how you should be threading your needle has made a 1000% difference in my EPP. Thank you!
I love how you analyze the world to be the most efficient possible. Thanks for the great tips!!!
I love this EPP quilt series by Tula. Really informative and fun to watch. Tula has a great personality!
Tula Pink, thank you so much. Your "deep" information about thread was marvelous. I have never heard it explained in such detail before, and now I completely understand. And I have been sewing for over 60 years. Thanks again. Virginia in Ohio

She has a wonderful personality. She has taught me how to paper piece in all things important. She is unique & fabulous. You go girl, thank you. Kathy Snider

Great video!!
Caught my self saying a lot “Wow” great info‼️
Thank you‼️
WOW. I've been sewing for 100 years and knew none of that stuff about how the thread is wound and what that entails! Great job, Tula!
Thank you so much. I'm a novice with epp so I feel much more informed. Great tips & very comprehensive 🌟
wow. who knew? I learned so much about thread and needles. thank you tula. and as always I love you and your sense of humour
OMG! I have been sewing forever and I have learned so much about sewing today by watching this video. I never stopped to think about why my thread would get knots or how much tension I was putting on my hands and body. I have started working on "self-care" more and you have shown me a lot of "self pain." Thank you for opening my eyes, people have always said "What you don't know won't hurt you." But you prove my thought, "that what you don't know, can hurt you a lot." Once again thank you for breaking these things down to where I could understand more.
Wow, thank you, I learned so much about thread just then and makes perfect sense
You are truly a talented teacher! You have an observant, analytical mind and it’s such a joy to listen to your explanations. I learned so much in these twenty minutes. Thank you so much! ❤️

By the way it is worth having a kindle just for your lesson in thread alone, that was marvellous, I use Wonderful thread which is also great.

Okay to sum up...respect the thread, work smart and better living thru magnets, thanks Tula, you're the best!
Thank you for your indepth explanation of thread! This will save me soooo much frustration!
I am so happy you explained how to thread a needle and the grain of the thread, plus how to use a spool of thread.
Thank you.
Every person who hand sews, or cross stitches should watch this video and pay attention to the information about thread. It’s so true. I noticed very recently that my floss, no matter what dyer or manufacturer has a right and a wrong way to go thru the needle. The right way never knots, the wrong way constantly curls up and knots.
Wow! The amount of information Tula shares in these videos is incredible! And, who knew about the difference between the two thread holders? I do now! Thanks, Tula and Fat Quarter Shop!
Oh my god! I learned a lot about threads! Tula Pink is genius!
This is a must watch video, very informative. I've been stitching and sewing for 40+ years, always learning, this has been helpful. Thank you!
i love your tips, i started EPP in April, mostly because of you and Jen Kingwell, you make it so fun and funny. thank you. cant wait for more
Off I go to order every single thing Tula mentions, LOL! I learned so much from this series so far =)
Fantastic !! Truly appreciate “going deep” with explanation of why. Along with Angela Walters, one of the best educators on You Tube!
I am a newer quilter and since I started quilting (and doing EPP) recently I've always loved Tula Pink...thank you so much for making these videos!!! Please keep them coming.
This series is brilliant. The information and tips are priceless and Tula is such a natural teacher. Plus, she’s funny. Thank you and I
love you Tula ❤️
Thankyou for all the information in these tutorials Tula - I have been doing epp for 3+ years and have learned so much from you!
Such a great teacher I have learned so much about English paper piecing and tools from Tula!! Love everything Tula Pink!! More please!!!
Fantastic video. I didn’t know why I was getting knots & breakage🤔. You have taught me so much. Thank you 🥰
Tula, you are awesome! Your videos on EPP are so easy to understand, you are one.very talented lady that i.can watch for hours and learn so much from, even thou i have been sewing for over 60_years.

Thank you Tula, I so enjoyed everything in the videos. I learned so much🥰
She gives us more info, I have been doing this for a long time too and learning so much more from Tula, I love her So generous!!
Love all your super good tips. Oh my goodness. I never knew about the grain of the thread and the proper way of threading the needle.

OMG, the nerdery is strong. I never knew I wanted to know about thread dynamics.
I’ve made two quilts using brown freezer paper doing everything ‘the hard way’. I’ve learned so much from Tula Pink. Thank you
I am so inspired my Tula and this series. I started watching this, because I had seen Tula on a Fat Quarter ‘Behind the Seams’ Video. I love her witty humour. 😂🤣😂 Honestly, I never even imagined ever taking up English paper piecing. Now I’m hooked. I’m going to begin with a pillow for my Aliner trailer as soon as I. An source the tools and materials!
What? Thread has a grain? 🧐 Mind blown! Every day is a good day, when you learn something new! I can’t wait until the next instalment!💜
This just answered so many questions i never knew i needed to ask... ty ty ty ty for all ur wonderful insights and the many hours u took to work these things out so that those of us that come across this video now get the opportunity to use in our projects in the future... stay safe and happy quilting

Wow! Thanks Tula Pink and Fat Quarter Shop! This has been a fabulous series! I’ve been doing EPP for years and still found some great tips and tricks! 😄
Love all this information! You are a great teacher!!! Thank you!
Wow Tula! This video was fabulous and learned so much about thread and tools! I don’t paper piece I quilt but you have definitely made me want to give this a try! I could watch you all day you are so knowledgeable and so funny at the same time. I love the airplane story about dropping something, you are right it’s gone😂😂!
Love watching Tula’s videos so entertaining. Thank you 🙏
OMG! I never knew that about thread spools and the thread spool holders! You are awesome!
Thank you so much for explaining thread!! It made so much sense and will come in handy when hand quilting also. Love you and your videos! You are a wonder💗💗💗💗💗
Such great tips. And who knew that thread needed to be pulled differently from the spool if wound differently! Thanks.
Mind. Blown. I am more than 1/2 a century old and I NEVER KNEW thread has a grain. That whole concept is mind boggling, why had nobody ever mentioned it! Tula has got me hooked on EPP, I've got to try it Now! I'll be placing an order for supplies TODAY!
I try to avoid hand sewing for most of the problems you mentioned plus I'm not good at it. But you have given me some great information which I will put to good use. Thank you.
Paper piecing has always been a mystery to me. Thank you so much for these videos. I may be brave enough to attempt! Can’t wait for the future videos! Thank you to Tula Pink andFQS-love love love
I’ve watched part 1 & 2 twice now and have learned so much. Thank you for making these videos. I had purchased all the supplies to make a LaPas and was about ready to give it up. This has inspired me and has helped overcome the struggles I was having.
I had no idea about the spool holders on the sewing machine being for the different direction spools of thread are made. Thank you for so many helpful hints!
I am sooo intrigued by your analysis! Being a retired engineer I love love love how in depth you go. It all makes perfect sense to me! I started watching your English Paper piecing videos after Angela Walters referred to you so many times in the quilt alongs I did with her. You ROCK!
All very interesting information, for general sewing also. Thank you.
i loved the dive into needles and thread... mind-blowing... thank you.
Love this series with Tula. This may be what gets us through COVID!
This is SO helpful!!!! Thank you Tula, thank you Fat Quarter Shop! I learned so much, and am re-inspired!
