This is a great tutorial!!
I have not done this technique yet, but I suggest writing the piece numbers on the back so you will know which is next.
Thank you for sharing technique
Thanks!
You're welcome Doralee💛
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😂
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! 🌷
@@susanmei9980
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. 🍀
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 ❣️
I'm going to try this sewing technique today!
This seem so easy, Thanks for the class.
I am just getting started in FPP and this is a game-changer!!!! THANKS !!!!!
You're welcome Anne💛
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.
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🤷🏻♀️✅
Thank you! I was just getting ready to photocopy a zillion pineapple patterns.
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! 🎊🎉✅💛
Holey moley! Genius 😁
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. 😊
Beautiful and well demonstrated. Thank you for sharing!
You're welcome Christine...this technique is quick too✅
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✅
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🤷🏻♀️
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!
I would like to see that done with a more intricate pattern please please please!
I'll see what I can do✅
Thanks so much for this tip!
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!🎊
Beautiful!
WOW, so cool!!! Thanks!!
You're welcome Robin!!!✅
Thank you, this is brilliant.
Wow thank you Suzanne. 💛 thank you so much for supporting my channel too!
What a great idea!! 👍
Thank you! 😊
Another good one
Wow, I will have to practice this.
Fast and fun!🎉
I'm so excited about this! Thank you so much! I've been creating quilt tops from embroidered quilt blocks. I will use this method for the fill in blocks. Yay!!!
Great Dollie💛
Love this- thank you so much!
You are so welcome Mary Ann!💛
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?
Love this!!
💛
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✅
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??
That is way cool! I never liked paper piecing before because you would have to remove the paper off and was a pain.
I know exactly what you mean about it being a pain....I think the fabric distorts more from trying to tear it off LOL😂
@@TheSewingChannel thanks for sharing this!!
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.
I really like this new technique and will be trying it. Could I ask where you purchased the rotary cutter? It doesn't look like the traditional ones that I have and it appears that it works with very little effort. I think it might help me with my arthritic hands and the inability to use a lot of pressure when I'm cutting. Thanks for the reply.
It's a Martelli Rotary Cutter✅
The best tutorial for paper piecing I've watched. Great no pulling off and you can reuse the paper.
Enjoyed watching how you did that. Thanks for making such helpful tricks x
You’re welcome 😊
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.
What brand of printer do you have? I seem to go through ink like crazy and am looking to upgrade to a tank printer.
I use a Ricoh - big company size🤷🏻♀️
Laser printers/copiers print many, many more copies per toner cartridge, than ink jet printers do per ink tank. I have a black & white Brother, (you can get color laser printers, now, but I hvnt tried them) and it works great. Hv had it for 7 years.
Only down side (if you can call it that) is that it heats up the paper to bind the toner onto the paper; so printing on freezer paper, fusible sheets, or anything that would melt inside the printer is not a good idea! For obvious reasons! 😱
Great technique! Tearing out the bits of paper can be really tedious. One question, though: won't the block be backwards? Normally the fabric is placed on the back of the paper, so for a pattern that isn't perfectly symmetrical, I think this will make it backwards.
Hi Tracy, enjoy your channel! I’m interested in your hanging quilt board. Where can I find one? I found a Fons and Porter felt board on Amazon, but I like yours better. Thank you. M
Hi MaryAnn...mine is just flannel clipped up onto the wall🤷🏻♀️
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. 🌷
Never tried FPP before, this looks like a good way to try and being able to reuse your paper, I must try this technique
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✅
This is also called paperless (I don't know why) paper piecing. I have done this technique on a very difficult pattern and it worked well. One tip is to make template for cutting side triangles (2, 3, 4, 5) to minimize waste.
Great tip!
I have watched paper piercing before but never found out why paper piercing don't understand why
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 👏👏👏
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.
Hi, Tracy. Any chance you can show the technique for the more elaborate star? I have downloaded the pattern but the technique shown at that website is the traditional method. Would love to see you do a more difficult-looking pattern. Thanks!
Will do!✅ Coming soon.
@@TheSewingChannel thanks so much! This is very generous!
Just did a test block this way and loved it! Thank you!
I think this looks like a lot of work for a 2" hex . Guess the old fashioned way works for me.
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💛
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 like the point of the paper being reusable! Thanks!
Me too Pam!✅
Thank you so much. Your teaching is exceptional. 👍
I have been quilting for 35 years, & still learning so much! That is amazing…..
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!
so cool! thanks for showing - i am just starting with fpp but will give this technique a try!!!
Your seam roller link is the same as the tracing wheel.
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!👍
I would be afraid to use this technique on a pattern when I am joining templates together and need to match seams. It looks like a great alternative for making blocks though!
Try a mock up and see how it works for you Crystine 🤷🏻♀️✅
Interesting approach to paper piecing. What's the difference between paper piecing and English paper piecing?
English paper piecing is done by hand✅
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!
Ooooh lala!
Lol 🤣
I LOVE THIS TUTORIAL!! thank you so much - you are my fave because I can understand and see what you are doing....
🥰
❤ Amazing 💜 Now I understand how to FPP, something just clicked with your technique. How exciting I can’t wait to make a quilt now😊
May I ask why you have to eyeball the 1st 1/4 seam allowance but measure the remaining seam allowances?
If it's confusing you can measure it. I guess I've been sewing for so long that I said you could eyeball.🤷🏻♀Just make sure it's not under a 1/4".
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! ❤
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.
OMGraciousness!!! How did I never know this?!!!
Thank you
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 ?

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!💛
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.
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✅
So if you used the waxed paper technique you would get the same effect 😉
You can totally do it that way too✅ my method uses the same piece of paper over and over again👍🏻😉
WOW!! I've done 2 FPP projects and love yours the most. TFS
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
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!
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.
I love paper piecing, but this kicks it up a notch! ❤
Keep me posted on how it works for you Beth✅💛
I have been using my tracing wheel for awhile now. This is so much easier to fold those lines and get accurate measurements.
Where is this pattern?
Where can I get the clear handle/knob that’s on your ruler?
It is a clear command hook✅
Wonderful! I use the washable glue sticks in sewing all the time.
I need to do a lot of skate paper pieced blocks! This is gonna help me save paper and frustration!
Thank you for this video. Much appreciated.
I shared your videos with a bunch of quilters.😊
ok so when you do the log cabin foundation paper. There is a long that says trim here. Do you fold back the paper and trim beside that line or do you trim on the paper? Thanks
I'm so sorry Lorina but it's so Hard for me to give an answer when I am not looking it...
@@TheSewingChannel I think I figured it out but thank you for your help I do I fold it back and I trim it and I don't sew on the paper but I think I figured it out but thank you great idea
I don't see how the paper is serving any purpose...
it's keeping everything straight because it's connected with the glue...sometimes seams will "warp" when sewing tiny pieces✅
Roller-- wooden toy 🚗
Oh, girlfriend!!!! You are really dating me! 👵🏻 As soon as I saw it, I knew exactly what it was. I may actually have my old pattern tracing wheel (and transfer paper) in my sewing/crafting room that I got in junior high school for the (mandatory for girls) sewing class. Oh, I feel so old!!!!! 😜 Seriously, I really like this technique for making near-perfect blocks. Very cool! Are you going to make a video on the triangular shape and how to make that big, beautiful Christmas quilt block as show in the beginning? Pretty please??? 😃❤💚
Lol..I'm in my 50's and I only knew of the tracing wheel because I grew up watching my mom sew clothes when I was little✅ At least they still sell it ..LOL 😆
I so disliked sewing on paper and ripping paper out....It literally took me 1 try doing it the way in the video that I show to get it right. I honestly couldn't believe how near perfect that it turned out....I had to do a video on it.💛 The Christmas star in the video is my 1st try at...the link to the free pattern I found is in the info box....Follow the numbers just like I show and you will totally get it on the first try too🎊
Thank you! This is a great technique! I've always wanted to try paper piecing. ☺
Glad it was helpful!💛
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 UA-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💛
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✅
Here I am- again-
It's about time someone came up with an easier way! Hurray!
LOL I know! Right!!!!🎊
