Piecing Easy
What is paper piecing? Is it easy? Should I use?
Im an intermediate quilter. Ive never really seen paper piecing. Ive heard about it and not really sure what it is. Any links you may have please send to me thanks.
I have always found paper-piecing to be easy. It can be used for simple items for for more complex ones. It's been called "foundation piecing" also because the base can be either paper or light fabric.
The simplest paper-piecing involves crazy-patching or strip-piecing onto foundation squares. When all you want to do is get a variety of fabric pieces stitched together and *stable*, paper-piecing is ideal. You can hand out 8.5" paper squares to a group and specify the fabric must go all the way to the edges and the participants can piece or appliqué onto a fabric foundation or any combination and be assured of squares that *will* match.
You can purchase special paper that tears away more easily or dissolves in water or you can use commoner paper. Tracing paper may already be on hand. With that, iron at cotton setting and the paper will become brittle and easy to pick-away, if you desire to do so.
I'd mentioned plain strips, like log-cabin or rail fence onto paper foundations. You can also put a nice segment of a print in the middle of a square and piece triangles onto the corners and stash the wee treasures away until you have enough for something. This can be a project for a beginning sewer, designed to start with first running stitches and to be assembled years later.
