    I have been making your blocks from your free bonus FPP block from Facebook, read all your instructions but I have still picked up more tricks of the trade from your Wonderfull You Tube video.
    Thank you so much for your generosity. I am still waiting for your lovely book and can't wait until it arrives.

    I’m so glad I came across this tutorial. I have attempted FPP many times and have come away swearing never to do it again. After watching this and the beginner’s tutorial, I now have an organized way of approaching FPP. I can’t wait to try it again. And to top it off, I am dusting off one of your books that I purchased back in 1998. Shame on me for not doing it sooner. 😏

    What a great lesson. Several times I rolled my eyes at myself for not having figured out the best practices, like use the light on your machine to check fabric placement (instead of holding it up to the ambient light in the room, shifting about to find the brightest spot). I guess that's why you are a book writer and I am just following directions. 😂😂. Thank you so much for sharing your talent and experience!❤

    Thank you so much, Carol. I always follow you because you are an excellent teacher. Adhearing to your instructions always produces results that are perfect and I am proud of my finished projects. I am currently in a class at my local quilt shop, Abbi Mays Fafric Shop in North Muskegon, Michigan and we are using your book,-" 60 Fabulous paper-Pieced Stars", I feel very comfortable in the class because of your videos. Thank you again. Blessings, Joann

    I took a class from you years ago and this video is a great refresher! I would like to know what kind of scissors you are using in this video. I like the pink grippy part. They look much easier to pick up and use.

    • @CarolDoak-rg5yb
      @CarolDoak-rg5yb 9 місяців тому

      I am not a fan of the freezer paper way of doing paper piecing, because you need to fold, accurately, sew accurately and the freezer paper does not stabilize the points when you join units. A paper foundation only requires you sew on a line and stabilizes all your seams and points.

      Some people like the freezer paper way of piecing, but I find I don't get as accurate that way. I much prefer sewing on paper so I'm more accurate.
