Thank you for these VERY thorough instructions! 😊
You talked about the advantages of FPP but you missed the biggest for me. I'm older than dirt, ditto for my vision, & waiting for my cataracts to become bad enough for surgery. FPP has allowed me to continue to piece. I can manage, easily, to stitch on the line & no worry about starting & stopping. Started by drafting Dear Jane for FPP. Every block is different so a bit tedious. Wanted something faster to work on when I start to hate Dear Jane. Pulled out a sample block that I hand pieced a number of years ago. It's a kimono block I found in a Japanese quilt book. Converted the pattern to FPP & I'm here, again. to learn how to do these blocks at speed. Thank you so much for your videos & books! You're the OG of FPP.
Great tutorial and tips!
Thank you for this video! You are very thorough, not too fast and not too slow. Everything a quilter needs...
Rhank you for this very generous video !!
I’m so grateful to have found this video. I’ve watched several on other channels and am amazed at how COMPLICATED some instructions are. I had almost given up when I ran across Carol’s version. Now I’m excited about paper piecing again!!!
so glad i found you on YOU TUBE! I took your class in Tennessee a lot of years ago....Pigeon forge and Johnson City....you are still the same great teacher!
I’m so glad you just came on my UA-cam channel. I have your book and I was just getting started to learn paper piecing.
Thank you Carol. Your book and this heart wall hanging was my very first adventure into paper piecing 20 years ago. The wall hanging goes up every Valentine's Day. I mainly use tracing paper.
Paper piecing always looked so difficult and time consuming to me. But, watching this video makes it look fun and simple. Thank you for posting.
Tsp is an excellent aid to memory! Thank you.
I learned something new today - Just pull up the thread after stitching drawing up the bobbin thread to clip both the top and bottom threads at the same time - Super - Thanks for posting this video.
Thank you! It will be fun!!😊
You are the greatest at paper piecing .your way is absolutely the best way . Good to see you and have your book,!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU! This is the best tutorial I’ve seen!
Very thorough demonstration & with close-up shots all done well. Many thanks, Carol.
Hi from Texas great to see you
thank you so much, now i can make the Wensleydale quilt i have been wanting to make for awhile !!! Great tutorial ! ❤
You are my go to paper piecing teacher. I have been using your methods ever since I started. Thank you for all your tutorials.
Thank you, Carol, for this tutorial on paper piecing, which I TRIED to learn MANY years ago without much luck. I'm going to give it another go after watching this! BTW, I still own my Bernina 1530 (which I used for 27 years), even though I replaced it last year with the B535. The dealer told me not to sell my 1530, so I have taken his advice.
Thanks Carol I love your technique
Thanks Sylvia for the positive feedback and kind words.
Very good tutorial
So fun! I took your paper piecing class many moons ago in Abilene KS. It was my first attempt and you were and still are a great teacher!
This made it all make sense for me! Thank you for this video!
Great detail..i.l9ved watching and learning.
so good to see you again. love paper piecing and teach your method makes a successful class thank you so much.
Excellent video. I’ve watched it a few times now and I’m so glad I can review this over and over. Thank you so very much for sharing your time and expertise. ❤❤❤❤
Thanks Carol. I just bought a used bright and bold book at a quilt show yesterday. It’s signed by you too.
Thanks for the refresher course. 😉
Loved your video. I am new to Foundation Paper Piecing. I have ordered your book, and can't wait until it arrives, and I can get started, Thank You.
Thank you so much for the video! I found your book in my LQS tonight and I am looking forward to making this project.
Very helpful!
Very helpful.
Gorgeous wall hanging ♥️
Thank you Brenda. It was fun to make.
Hi Carol, I watched your video, then bought your book, then watched video again, not just to see technique but to observe how the darker colors around the edge make the heart pop. BTW, it is a lovely book with 4 printed pages of your (4 hearts on each page) heart pattern. I bet a black background fabric with bright colors or Batiks would be beautiful. Thanks for the clear tutorial..Foundation Paper Piecing is so much better than the hand stitching version of paper piecing-no hand sewing or glue needed. 😀
Carol is an FPP queen!
Great tutorial!
Thank you for the wonderful tutorial! It was a great refresher course. I have your original book from years ago and your papers. I will definitely get your new book.
I took a workshop you did in the Boston area about 1996 or so. You were making a vest for the host’s mom. You said you were originally from Ohio. .I have your latest book., and I went on You Tube to review how it’s done.
Awesome video. Thank you for sharing your time and expertise. This has inspired me to actually give this a try.
Tag us on Instagram when you do! We'd love to see it! @ctpublishing
This is very helpful, thank you Carol! I'm excited to get your new book! I tried foundation paper piecing a long time ago, but didn't enjoy it. Now seeing how all your little tips help the process I think it will make it so much easier for me!
It's a great way to use all your scraps and odd pieces! We'd love to see what you do! If you share a picture on social media, please tag us @ctpublishing !
I am so pleased that you enjoyed the video. I love easy and hope you enjoy the new book. Carol Doak
What a great teacher! Your gentle nature and organized manner make this so easy to watch. I do have a question though: What are you using to cut your threads so quickly to the left of your machine?
Hi Wendy, that's the built-in thread cutter that came with her machine. If your machine doesn't have one, there are several magnetic and stick- on options for thread cutters out there these days. Check your local quilt shop or big box craft store. - Betsy F. , customer service at C&T Publishing
Received your newest book today from Amazon!
Hi Carol. I have your book on paper piecing from 1994. I did the quilt on page 86, the Tulips. I display it every spring. Do you still recommend a 90/14 needle & a stitch length of 18 to 20" as mentioned in that book?
Very enjoyable video series! Ty 💖🙏 I was interested to know about the precut sizes. Maybe it seems obvious but when I learned years ago the scraps I was cutting never seemed big enough in trying to not waste the fabric. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks again.
Hi Jayne - you're not alone - it's NOT easy or obvious to figure out how much fabric you need. For me - there's something about sewing down to a mirrored image that makes my mind go into a tizzy. I'm a SUPER scrappy quilter, so making the most of my scraps is super important to me. However, I've learned that anytime I try to be conservative with the fabric I'm using on a paper-pieced project, I almost never give myself enough! I've decided it's worth the "scrap tax" of an ill-fitting piece. So I now cut an obnoxiously big piece for what I need. It's not the best answer for avoiding fabric waste - but it's the best answer for my own sanity! ;-) - Betsy F
I have some long pointed angles and I am having a hard time getting the fabric correct size and in correct angle. Help?
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
How do you get paper off easily?
Do you have your sizeable patterns that were on cds available for download into EQ8 or something like that? I really miss not having the fabulous QuiltPro on my new computer.
Hi there - unfortunately, that was a collaboration with Quilt Pro that we no longer support. At this time we do not have a partnership like this with EQ, but I'll mention it to the production team.
How are the numbers or sequence decided please ?
When I design the blocks, I design them so they can be sewn in a sequence. Then it is simply a matter of putting in the numbers for the best way to sew the block. Not all blocks can be sewn in a sequence.
What are dotted lines and a,b,cfor on pattern?
Hi Susan! See minute marker 15:37. For these hearts, the dotted lines indicate the outside of your quarter-inch seam allowance. It's marking the trim-line so you leave that seam allowance there for when you sew the finished paper-pieced blocks together. For other patterns, that might be indicating your sew line. The numbers are used to tell you the order to sew your pieces down. For more complicated patterns, there are often several sections of paper-pieces that are sewn together to make one block. The various sections are often marked with letters.
Great tutorial!
