This technique has been around for centuries. Let’s explore a precise, easy, economical approach to the long tried and true method, while bringing it to the 21st century and maintaining the respect for the past.
From simple projects to elaborate quilts, this hand piecing method is a favorite. Just a few small pieces of fabric, templates, needle and thread and you’re off.
We’ll discover some tips and tricks to this old method and you will soon be hooked.
P.S. This is the best take along project ever.
No machine required.
I've been sewing and knitting since the age of 12 and I enjoy almost all types of needlecrafts.
On the machine, my current favorites are my techniques for Tear-Free Foundation (NTNT FPP) piecing and continue to work on this technique and adding new and exciting designs. My patterns and techniques make this process even more accurate, fabric efficient and fun.
By hand, I has developed several patterns for English Paper Piecing (EPP). I use Mylar, paper and a new template called Hexi-forms. EPP allows precision in techniques and designs. To me, this is the best take along project, just a few things needed and you’re good to go.
As a teacher of 30+years my passion is creating and teaching and inspiring others to create.
“I love to honor traditional quilting while adapting some of the traditional quilts to new techniques. I feel we can learn so much from the past.”
