I learnt this sixty years ago, in England with my grandmother, just after the second world war, we used metal templates to cut the papers, old envelopes, or any stiff paper we could lay our hands on, we used every scrap of cloth ,or recycled clothes. We stitch through the papers , enough to secure the fabric however small to the paper, the papers were reused several times, untill they lost their stiffness. Tacking threads were pulled out ,and also reused .squares, diamonds, octogons ,hexagons, triangles, and coffins, were all used.
I learnt to do it watching the children's program Blue Peter in England about 60 years ago. Still enjoying using up my scraps
I was shown how to do it at primary school in the early 80's.
Yes Karen, I'd love to see a tutorial how to learn FPP.
Happy Friday everyone. 🍁🍂Happy to share the first of a series on slow sewing. English paper piecing has given me so much joy over the years. I hope you find the same. Happy Thanksgiving for my fellow Canadians
Happy Thanksgiving to you too Karen! 🍁🎃🌻🦃🤝🙏🏻🕊
Another brilliant video, very much enjoyed this one. And yes, please, would love to see one on FPP as well, cheers!
Loved your techniques, I'm going have to try using single thread instead of double, and smaller needles. Think you said milliners #10. Gotta look thru my stuff to see if I have any.
Thank you again for all of your time and expertise. I always learn something from you. ❤❤
I love epp. I learned to use a small hole punch to put a hole in center of small shapes, this makes it easy to use a tool to pop out the paper.
I do the same! Works so well💜
Thanks for the tip I'm going to try that!
Thanks. Watching a demo of how to is good.
Great tip!
Small tip on cotton thread if that's what you have laying around, you can run it over bar soap or beeswax and that makes a big difference in hand sewing. That's what my grandmother taught me when learning to do hand binding.
I love thread magic for this too!
Awesome! I also hand sew and often get knots in my threads and it really annoys me. 👍🏻
I run it through chapstick.
ABSOLUTELY. I like beeswax. It makes the thread stronger and I find the thread tangles less. Thread Magic, which is fabulous, seems not to be manufactured any longer. I love the chapstick idea and will try it.
I learned the same thing, but from my Mom. She never made Quilts but she made all my clothes when I was at home. She always wanted to know how to Quilt. I have felt I missed out on a lot, not knowing how to Quilt. I love what I have been learning, while I've been Quilting. I can't imagine doing anything else.
Bonjour, Je suis française et il n’y a pas de tutos de EPP en français. Grâce à vous, j’ai pu comprendre beaucoup de choses et de techniques.
Merci beaucoup. 🥰😘
Oh, yes! Foundation paper piecing, please. SOOOO GLAD you covered that blasted Y-SEAM!
Thank you for breaking this down into simple steps and taking all the mystery out of it, Karen. I would like to see a similar video on foundation paper piecing. I've tried it and wasn't happy with the results. You have such a gift for explaining techniques and making them feel like they're do-able. My piecing has drastically improved after following your 3-step advice, especially on HSTs. My quilts are square without surgery!
Several years ago at my guild someone made hexes out of thin plastic, like the lids of butter in a tub, or some template plastic.. Then punching a hole In the center to easily remove. You could use them for a long time
I recently discovered that I prefer hand (slow) sewing to machine sewing, and always wondered what paper piecing was. Thank you for your explanations and tutorials! I’m also loving the videos with the timers, the clutter challenges, and you vlog! I have ADHD, non-hyperactive, so I have a tendency to get distracted, lose interest, or forget completely what I was doing, and you have so many tips I’m using! On the other hand, I can also get so engrossed in a project I lose track of time. Just got the cube timers today! Thanks again!
Yes, please!!! I love hearing more about different techniques!
I second that thought!
Would love a FPP tutorial!
Great video, thanks Karen! I haven't tried this yet, but now I'm less intimidated. Add me to the list of those who would like a video on FPP!
YES!!!!!!! Please do a video on FPP!!!! I can’t cut or sew a straight line to save my life but I’m pretty good at FPP; it’s my saving grace. I look for every quilt block in the form of an FPP block. LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Karen, I would love a part 2 on how to finish EPP projects. How do you finish the edges? How to attach EPP appliqués? I have a table runner made, with hexies and that have no half hexies, but I am at a loss on how to finish it.
Karen! You do such an awesome job teaching so many techniques…tips and tricks! Thank you!!
Yes, please share your tips and tricks on FPP with us too!🙂
P.S. Love the colors and shapes in your new background quilt in this video.
Agreed! Please do a video on FPP!
Like many here I mainly piece with a machine, but I love having my project box for EPP for long car trips, sitting at my MIL’s (need to be conversational but not idle😜), staying awake during commercials and replays on televised sporting events, watching grandkids and sew on….On a 6 week car trip I stopped at quilt shops to buy more fat quarters and used hotel irons, keeping my project box with finished rosettes under the car seat. Made enough for a queen sized quilt!
Yes, yes on Foundation paper piecing. Please make a video
Karen, I’m do happy to have found this! I’m a quilt addict and will be having foot surgery next Tuesday! No weight bearing for six weeks! YIKES! I’m worried about losing my mind sitting around. This just might be the answer! Thanks!
Definitely the answer. Good luck
Good luck with your surgery, I hope all goes well. I had foot surgery and was not aware of this process. Hope it helps with the recovery time.
Long overdue answer to probably long solved problem - zip cord your sewing peddle to your table leg at knee height! Commercial Sewing Machines are made with a knee knocker sewing pedal because that type of repetitive strain on the foot is ridiculous when your sweatshop sewing is your day job!
I had ankle surgery on my dominant foot and had to train myself to a knee knocker position to get anything done during those horrible weeks of recovery! Nowadays whenever my foot or ankle is straining I put my sewing pedal back on the table leg and knee knock it!
Cheers
Hi Karen. If, like me, you lack the confidence to jump into quiltmaking, EPP is ideal. Also, the slow, regular & repetitive stitching is SO therapeutic. I hope one day to start doing a machine quilt but for the moment I'm totally hooked on EPP.
P.S I'd love for you to do a video on FPP. Merci from France xxxx
Fantastic video. Yes, I'd really like to see a Foundation Paper Piecing video. That would be awesome. Thank you for all the fabulous tips.
Is a relatively young and new quilter I find your videos so helpful. I find a great delight in seeing what you’ve whipped up next.
Those is the most down-to-earth, no-BS EPP tutorial. It's like a tutorial "for the rest of us." Thank you! I feel like I could go start experimenting now.
I always find her to be no BS,which is why I love her!
I have never done list but find I spend a lot of time on the road. Excellent way to busy myself. love this
An important note for first time thimble users: Thimbles come in different sizes. Place the thimble on your finger and shake your hand around, if it flies off it's too big. If you have use a thimble before and hated it, it probably was not the right size!
Excellent video! I started an EPP quilt because we were driving a lot to my granddaughter's basketball games at different colleges. It is a great way to spend time that would otherwise be wasted.
You are my ‘go to’ person Karen. I’m learning so much from you
Love your videos Karen, I’m trying to get back my quilting fever 🤒, thankyou
KAREN! I don't need more projects, but you are tempting me with EPP, simply because I love the pattern choices! Especially the quilt you have been working on for what did you say? 3 years? JEEZ! You must have some stamina!
Jenny Doan say's she is all about the machine & so am I! I'm too impatient for hand stitching. That piece you were showing at the end that looks like a kaleidoscope is truly beautiful. But with every hand stitch I take, my mind keep saying, I'm getting older by the second on repeat. I'll leave the EPP to the intermediate quilters & admire their work with awe.
My daughter gifted a cute little tin with Wonder clips for Christmas one year. Such a finger saver! No more tight gripping!! I used my ScanNCut to cut several hundred of the paper hexies, and cut my scraps into 2 1/2" squares to wrap around the hexie papers.I don't trim. Works for me!
I like the machine quilting over rows of hexies. I also like the big stitch quilting between the hexies. I will try different methods on different projects. I'm arranging them in diamond shaped arrangements, some with 4 (2 contrasting colors) and some with 9 with a contrasting center hexie..
Thanks for these tips, Karen!
I would love to see a video on Foundation paper piecing please!
EPP is such a fun way to express yourself! Thanks for sharing!
I like big stitches & big blocks & I cannot lie! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 EPP & FPP quilts are gorgeous! I just have too many things on my list to make so I have to do it big & fast ( as fast as I can move at this age) ! Thanks for your great videos!
Yes, please on the foundation paper piecing. Love how you break things down into understandable (for me) elements!
I purchased an adorable Liberty of London EPP starter kit on ETSY which came with the fabric already cut out into Hexes. After making a Hexie pillow, I purchased a Walkabout The Stars wall-hanging kit. This came with charm squares and hard plastic templates so I have to lay out how I want the quilt to look and cut out all the fabric. I decided to look at some UA-cams to make sure I knew what I was getting into. Thank you, as always, for breaking things down into bite size pieces!
Love EPP! Love your site!!
I love watching these come together. Unfortunately with my severe carpal tunnel and numbness in my fingertips, these will have to be admired rather than made by me. Look so beautiful!!!
Becky, have the surgery, it’s so worth it!
I was having a terrible time with my carpal tunnel… was considering surgery but was recommended I try the brace at night. I am sooo happy I did! Now I can‘t fall asleep till I have it on and have my hand back!
I had INSTANT relief with the surgery!!
My carpal tunnel disappeared with physical therapy and carpal tunnel exercises. It came from my neck.
Love your calming voice and instructions!!
Yes please, you always add little gems of information.
Yes please make a video about FPP I don’t know how to do that.
As always your tutorials ROCK. Thank you so much.
Hi Karen from South Aussie-I love EPP - I find it a great way of using “down time” from my machine
Terrific tutorial, I started making Hexies and I love it.....and I have been noticing the container of hexies that you often have in the background of your videos...A big yes for FPP tutorials.
Thank you! This looks fabulous and so intriguing!
Seriously amazing video! I wish I had found this a month ago when I was getting ready for my first project. You’ve literally covered everything and filled in some missing pieces! Thank you
You are wonderful, thank you so much. You have helped me so much. ❤️🩹
Ok. Got it. Thank you Karen.
Such a great primer on EPP! Thanks so much for sharing all the resources. Diving deeper thanks to your inspo. 💗
I have a bunch of Tula fabric waiting for some EPP! Fabric ✅ papers ✅ thread ✅ time…time? Time where are you? 🤦🏻♂️ some day ☺️
Great tutorial!!! Thank you. ❤️
Thank you for explaining in such detail and all the different options! I'm new to quilting and this is perfect to get started, your videos are all so helpful for those of us who don't have quilters in the family to show us how
YESSSSS to the FPP videos and THANK YOU for the beginner EPP vid❤️. I got a sampler as a gift during a shop hop trip. I played with it on the bus on the ride home and I was hooked😂
Years ago I started cutting out a hexagon from each fabric I used in a project, but was not sure what to do next. Your video has really helped me to know how to proceed. Thank you!
I love all of your videos! This one on EPP was excellent because of the way that you organized and presented the tutorial. Your examples and illustrations enhanced the presentation. I would love to you to tackle and create a similar one for FPP.
I'm in the middle of my 1st EPP project, a Tula Nova quilt that I'm doing as a color wheel. So I didn't quite follow your advise to start small :)
I didn’t follow that advice either. The joys of looking backwards
Your videos are sooooo helpful...I started EPP not too long ago and would LOVE a video on FPP. Thank you for all your AWESOME videos....
I made a grandmother's flower garden quilt (full-sized) and it took me years, but I'm proud of it. I'd never make another one, so I use this method for coasters (to give to members of my Bible study class at Christmas). I'm also working on a table runner using hexagons, and it's work, but nothing like the bed quilt was. I really love English paper piecing!
Enjoyed this! Please do video on FPP. Thanks
Hexie coasters is such a great idea for gifts. Do you do small hexie or one large one? I’d like to make some. Thanks
@@apiecemaker1163 Mine have 7 pieces, each about 1 1/2" basted. All 7 (1 in center and the other 6 surrounding) together make a nice-sized coaster.
@@dachsiemomma1725 ok thank you. Definitely want to make some.
@@apiecemaker1163 I really like to make these in the summer with a glass of iced tea by my side!
Absolutely! Love to get more tips and tricks for FPP
I would love to know more about FPP….what method would be appropriate for a Mariner’s Compass? About 30 years ago I saw the Mariners compass and I was quite intimidated by it. I started my quilting journey and at this point in time I feel as though I can tackle it. Thank you for your help and for your tutorials, I enjoy them so much!!
Thank you so much for this! I really appreciate the tip about using binder clips.
Thanks Karen, I have a few done,. but at this point collecting is all I’m going to do for awhile. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊
Yes, please teach us to FPP!!
I always learn something new from your tutorials.
Thank you so much!
Very clear tutorial
Great refresher…thanks!
Yes paper piecing is something on my list of new things to do. Fpd please. Thanks Karen. Love the tutorial.
I Love EPP and FPP and I love learning off everybody so a video on FPP would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for a great video again…….🤩
Best EPP basics video I've found. Thank you so much!!!!!
Thank you do much. Moving closer to trying EPP. Love your videos
Thank you, Karen! I'm a visual learner and this was the best explanation of EPP I've seen.
Thank you 😊
My first paper piecing was terrible sewed the cards but did learn how after that. Ty for your video learned more from it
Thank you for this video! I‘ve never tried this…but may. I love foundation paper piecing and would love to see how you do it!
For people looking for those needles. They’re milliners needles. There’s an extra i in there. It’s named after milliners who are women’s hat makers. I don’t know if hat makers still use this moniker or not.
That you for catching that 🙄
Yes please, so a FPP video, love your voice, your humour and your expertise.
Great EPP information. Your Millefiore hexagon pieces are absolutely gorgeous!!
Thank you for inspiring me to take on more challenging EPP projects. I like to use Decobob thread for hand stitching, it glides through fabric so well with little tangling and is quite strong.
Thanks for all the info
Yes, please make an FPP video. Even after Sugaridoo quilt along, my brain still doesn't “get it”. Thanks, Karen.
Yes please for fpp! Always wanted to try it.
Thank you for explaining this methode. I look forward to watch your video about FPP
I have an EPP kit in my car. I travel by ferry a couple times a month. It gives me something to do while I am on the boat.
Your videos are so well done, informative and fun! Thank you for doing such a wonderful job for us!!!
Hi Karen, this tutorial is very interesting. I'd like to learn the FPP technique, if you make a video about it, I'd really appreciate it. Big hugs from Italy
I would like to see a tutorial on foundation paper piecing. Thank you for explaining EPP.
Thank you for such clear and easy-to-follow directions. I loved this video.
Thank you, I love epp.
Hello from England. I have wanted to do an EPP quilt for a long time using Liberty Lawn. Your videos really inspire me and you explain things so well. I am still procrastinating over design as the shapes are more complex in how they fit together and what sizes they need to be.
Thanks Karen! Really enjoyed the video
Lovely. Takes me right back to childhood.
Oh, Karen, Karen - another example of your WONDERFUL way of easing our hesitancy when contemplating just getting out there and doing something new! I've long wanted to get going on an EPP project. Today, watching your video, I am emboldened to just GET IT DONE! Thank you, once again, for your encouragement and excellent tips! Love from South Dakota!
Woohoo! South Dakota sister, here!
Thank you so much for explaining how to do this. Now I feel I could attempt EPP!
Yay for EPP! I'm part of a La Passacaglia (Millefiori) BOM; it's the first time I'm doing more than a pincushion in EPP and I'm learning a LOT.
Thread color *can* matter, if you're absolutely determined that your stitches not show. Match the thread to the darker piece, if you can, and the lighter if you can't. Tula Pink has several great videos on EPP on her channel for more detailed info.
Thank you for this video, it's a great intro to EPP!
Thank you, Karen, for another great instructional video! Yes, please do the FPP video. Thank you, again.
Thank you for inspiring 🎉
FPP -- yes, please!
Would love a video on FPP! I want to learn this too!
I definitely want to see a video on Foundation PP. Love your work.
Thanks! Excellent explanation and demonstration! I'm opting for a pin cushion, so I can gain confidence. :)
Thanks Karen!
Yes! FPP is a great idea! Congrats from Brasil!
