How to English Paper Piece with Tula Pink - Part 3 - Sewing | Fat Quarter Shop

[@philiptomarchio9098]

Your teaching abilities are absolutely incredible!! You are the reason I just bought my wife the "Tula Pink Bernina 770" for our anniversary. I don't sew but after watching a lot of your videos...I think I may even give this a try. I hope you will be in South Florida some day just so I can thank you in person! Thank you for all you do!!

[@judithmurphy419]

ooooh, husband of the Century !!!! You're in the tight place

[@pamwehking2457]

I have a very personal comment that you have probably never heard...my 39 y.o. son Ryan took his life 04/26/2019 & after 8 mos. my dear friend got me into appliqués & quilting but my 💔 is still dragging me through life.THEN on a fabric hunting trip, I discovered TULA fabrics! I bought yards & yards without knowing what I would do! Out of that I found the PETAL pillow pattern, but THEN I hit YT to see you & your work . Just LISTENING to you made me smile & be happy...and now, I am hooked on TULA learning new hand sewing tips and oh-sew-happy ideas! YOU change how I see life now...Thank you, TULA...BTW, I am 71,a retired Sp Ed teacher and YOU are an amazing teacher. My latest endeavor is beginning: English paper piecing...Thank you from the bottom of my healing heart❤️

[@anitagoodson198]

Hun, I fell for you. My son passed in an accident years ago. I am addicted to arts & crafts. Just four Epp. Sewing makes me happy. Happy sewing!

[@christinenewell2679]

💥this is a flash for me…….i have sewed backwards all my sewing life which is about from 5-76!! It annoyed my teacher dreadfully)the days when children were taught HE in school). My mum tried to get to sew right way round but I just couldn’t do it. I sewed at her knees for years and I remember coming home from nursing, pulling out the little stool, putting some logs on the fire and we wd sit and embroider or hand finish some bias binding or flat and fell seams. Dad wd be . reading, making his gorgeous big, hand cut floor rugs or drawing out something for us to embroider later…..pillowcases for eg. My parents were happy to have me at home for a few days and the three of us lived an idyllic, coastal life. He died when I was 22 and I went on to have mum live with me when my husband and I bought our first home. Mum was a rock to our growing family. So, this sewing lesson has reawakened very happy memories for me. Love, thankyou. …..I’ve recently purchased and mounted a map of USA States and im putting a little flag in each state where I subscribe to. Cd you tell me your State please?

[@michelleolsen2358]

I love the "why" and Tula gives it to us. "Why" I do this in this particular way. My brain likes this type of explanation. BEST tutorials I've ever watched.

[@angelaeaves9686]

“Not in a thread drought”. Lol. She’s the best teacher I have had in a long time.

[@candigordon3591]

Tula hit it out of the ballpark again!! Tula is a true teacher because she explains the how and why by her genius reasoning and deep insight of the art. Tula also does it with a flair by inserting her sense of humor. Who couldn’t love her to pieces? I know certainly love her. I have been EEPing for about five years. I have to have a project in my hands while watching TV with the hubby or I’ll fall asleep. It is so therapeutic and relaxing. I will no longer worry about knotting my thread. Talk about shaving seconds off a project!! WOW. I learned a lot on the 3 EEP videos. I had hoped that I could see her stitching her EEP pieces and was just overwhelmed with information!! Looking forward to more of Tula!! Thank you FQS. The filming crew did an excellent job catching everything perfectly.💕💕💕

[@sunflowerbaby1853]

Thank you Tula & The Fat Quarter shop for providing us a "Master Quilt Series" on EPP. It was informative, entertaining, & presented in such a way that you actually want to hand sew an entire quilt. 😅 This means so much to me because for over the past 4 yrs I've been a stay at home, 24 hr a day, caregiver to my Mom. I have not been able to attend guild meetings, take classes or go to a show. And usually teachers of Tula's caliber do not give away free classes. Tula, thank you for giving me this gift. I truly appreciate your time.

[@sandramcinnis-fibreinsanity]

Ok...did anyone else think there was stuff to learn about thread? Holy cow this series was so much fun. I have machine sewed my pieces 😬🤫, but I plan to hand sew them forever and ever 🤩. If Tula had a series on cleaning the house, I bet mine would become spotless! 😂

[@venzaa]

You are the Best Teacher!

[@dianecleary1054]

Aha ! Finally I know why my thread would entwine and knot. No more thread slurping !!!

[@be_you2023]

This has been a fantastic series, full of great humour (public service announcement was priceless). The last video is my favourite because there is so much logic in the way Tula works her magic. It has really made me reconsider doing paper piecing, as it was a little daunting before.

[@mariellabarnes8380]

Thank you soooo much Tula, I’m waiting for your next tutorial.

[@Happybidr]

Totally agree.

[@juliemorrison4348]

Thread drought!! So funny. Very informative video ♥️🇦🇺

[@bevh2241]

Hands down this series has some of the most informative information ever passed along. The epp information is exceptional but there is information anyone doing any hand stitching should know and understand. Thread nap, needle threading, and ergonomic information pop to mind as examples. Very well done. Thank you! ❤️

[@lynneschultz316]

Love your “no thread drought” comment. Busted! But no more. Common sense is pretty amazing...and so are you, Tula!

[@jennym007]

11:04. I am so glad you are pointing this out! I have RSI from computer work and medically retired because of it. After 10 years it has barely improved. I feel that once you have RSI and stop the activity causing it, you don’t actually get better, you just stop the pain getting worse! So the trick is to not develop it in the first place. I have recently taken up sewing again after a 20 year break and must be disciplined and pace myself. It is amazing what a small change in how we do things does affect our bodies. Your slight change of sewing away from yourself is huge! Huge in that it might prevent someone from developing RSI pain and that is so important! Thank you ✅

[@abigailthompson4456]

I love your sense of humor, Tula!

[@michellewensch7571]

OMG! she is a fantastic artist, a good teacher, and she is smart and funny, i love her 👏🏻❤️🧵🧩

[@lindsayschilling8707]

😀 I've been making that kind of knot for years! And, I thought I was being clever🤣 Hey, wait, we both are clever❣Love your tutorials, Tula.

[@janicehopper6115]

These 3 EPP tutorials are the best! Tula is an excellent instructor and I can't wait to get started!

[@violet2048]

I have learned more about English paper piecing in your 3 tutorials than the 6 or 8 books I've purchased and 30+ quilters on you tube. You are fun, easy to understand and ooooz confidence that is catchy. I now know WHY, this or that is done and why I'm hooked on Tula. I'm sitting here with a smile on my face, that wasn't there all day. I started sewing at age 7 with both my grandmothers. They both had there own ways and no whys. I'm76 now and for the first time I know why there are 2 spool holders on my sewing machine. Thank you so very much for your 3 best tutorials I've ever watched. I subscribe and I'm going to go watch the Dodgers right now, but I'll be following you.

[@carleenb9426]

Such a joy to watch Tula. LOL thread drought, she's a master speaker and teacher. Love her and her fabric!

[@Gale4health]

Oh my goodness! I am learning so much from you! I’m 68! So you CAN teach an old dog new tricks!

[@Sewmena918]

Amazing series. Four years old, but truly a master class.

[@131dyana]

Thank you for sewing these together and showing us how to save ourselves from having pain in sewing.

[@TarahMatson-zz2hj]

I’m rewatching these because I want to try EPP. Tula Pink has such a wonderful teaching style. She gives you the reasons why it should be done this way, and all with an engaging sense of humor. These videos are the only ones ( of many) that have made me excited to try this art form. Thank you FQS and Tula Pink for all that you do. 💗

[@Chercher4848]

I encourage you to start. I have quilted for years & am so excited I discovered EPP this year. I now have 3 beautiful Tula quilts that are so very different than anything I have done. Having a hand project for night time tv watching is everything as the process is SEW fun! ❤

[@violet2048]

Last night I tried all of your stitching, threading and knotting. it was faster and less stressful on my hands and shoulder. This was amazing and so quick. Thank you.

[@lindawilson3770]

You are such a great teacher! You explain not only how to do something a certain way but why it should be done that way which makes all the difference in the world. Your humor is the icing on the cake...love it! Thank you!

[@cynthialodermeier5291]

Love Tula’s teaching!🙏❤️

[@reneejohnson5041]

This has been so helpful. You are the best teacher ever! AND I’ve discovered EPP is the answer to my need to be doing something even when I’m watching tv or for whatever reason I am not in my sewing room. Thanks so much!!

[@alysonbuttonstone]

You are fantastic! I have been captivated and also laughed my ass off. "We are not in a thread drought!" I LOVE you.

[@sharoncoleman9747]

This has been the most informative series. I can’t wait for the next installment. I’ve learned so much.

[@SarahWilliams-oo6zg]

Another great lesson! Thanks for sharing the knotting tip. I have always struggled with knots. I just thought I was weird. All your techniques make so much sense. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Again...you have the best humor. You could be the sewist comedian at quilt shows.

[@karenschwieger5340]

Wonderful tutorial. I've been paper piecing forr 20 years now and I learned so much from these tutorials. Thank you!.

[@hannahbubb8196]

Tula, these videos make me think that I could actually do an English paper pierced quilt! You are amazing!

[@TheCussinQuilter]

That snipping your thread at an angle is a game changer. Thanks Tula.

[@cookingwithelise]

Enjoyed this series so much! From a veteran homeschooling, you are a truly gifted teacher, Tula. Thank you!

[@nataliesobolewski8790]

What a joy to stumble across your teaching videos this morning and put a face to your famous name! Just as others have said, you are an amazing teacher, and I do love your sense of humour also. Gorgeous fabrics and beautiful quilt work. A bit envious of the case where you store all your threads! Thankyou for generously sharing your skills!

[@normawingo5116]

Omg miss Tula, I’m so gonna try changing direction of sewing, the hard part for me is hand/wrist pain. I’m NEVER giving up on EPP. My absolute favorite way to quilt. Thanks for the tip 🤗

[@mariellabarnes8380]

Thank you Tula, I am 77 and am an avid quilter and you rock girl. Your videos tell us why, I love that. EPP is my favorite thing to do and you have taught me some new things. Never to old to learn.

[@susanschmitz7649]

These tutorials are fabulous. You're a born teacher. I loved the explanations about why something is done a certain way. Thank you for putting so much thought and effort into making this series. I'm hoping to watch more from you in the future.

[@carmensaid3909]

Dear girl, I am 77 years old and have just found and watched your 3part tutorial. I crochet and knit and have started quilting this past year. I doubt that I will ever do English Paper Piecing, but just watching and hearing you explain has been such a blessing to me. Thank you for your honesty and patience.

[@Chercher4848]

I am 76 & just started EPP this year. Try it, you might love it like I do. ❤

[@melodywright3249]

I heard you today. Melody there's no thread shortage. Omg 😃. I laughed at my self. Thank you for bringing joy to my quilt room 💞💕💞

[@BlackWid0w]

Excellent teacher! Speaks really well and is a pleasure to listen to. Tons of great information! Thanks

[@bjune1285]

WOW! I learned so much from your videos, stuff that doesn't have anything to do with English paper piecing, but sewing in general, thank you.

[@littlejacquesful]

What an awesome tutorial!! Tula is so insightful on EPP. I have hand sewn for many years and watching this and hearing her explanations and rationale for doing certain things gave me so many aha moments! Thanks for providing this great tutorial, FQS 🪡

[@jamiethrogmorton2540]

The little corner knots are like a lifeline in knitting! I love your technique to secure the corners with four little knots.

[@nancymathisen9707]

You’re so good at explaining English paper piecing, that I’m almost tempted to give it a try. You’re an exceptionally gifted teacher, and artist.

[@julietownsend1869]

Love your teaching Tula. I am making your Tula Sunrise accidentally! Yep! I saw it was paper pieced and thought, yes, I like to paper piece. No where did it say, that I see, ENGLISH paper pieced! But I love hand quilting and just finished a whole cloth hand stitched queen sized quilt, (yes, it go first place in the quilt show!), so I know how to hand stitch, but this is new to me. Your tutorial makes me confident, so off I go! Thank you again!

[@cometahyakutake9375]

Absolutely Brilliant series! Thank you so so much! Not just a great designer but a great teacher! So much information! Colour, methods, notions! And your piece on ergonomics of hand sewing is absolutely vital! I absolutely love how you go about things, a very reflective process on methodology of craft. I will re-teach myself how to sew with the minimum effort (it seems to be your philosophy here!). It had been some time that I was wanting to learn more about EPP which seems to be quite trendy now. So timely! Thank you, looking forward to seeing more tutorials.

[@clombard7134]

I've watched this several times and will refer to it frequently. Wonderful!! I now live by these words: "Striving for perfection is admirable. Achieving it is boring and never going to happen". Thank you Tula and Fat Quarter Shop. You all are my inspirations.

[@Treetop4045]

I’m blown away on how many little tricks she just taught me. I’ve never made a quilt and now I will !! Thank you for such a great video series ❤

[@aristaniforth4267]

Omg this whole series is amazing! Makes English paper piecing feel so much more accessible ! Thank you for taking the time to explain so many details so clearly! 🙌

[@kathleenkolb3316]

this has been an absolute delight to watch. My first introduction to Tula, love her sense of humor and down to earth approach. It does take time to create a masterpiece! Thank you so much for all this knowledge and such helpful instruction. Back to my project now! Will look for a future Tula project from FQS

[@deanna2804]

Here I am at 1:28 in the morning watching this excellent series. I now want to get started on an EPP project. I absolutely adore Tula Pink.

[@coldteastudios]

Thank you so much Tula and Fat Quarter Shop You have changed my world 🧵

[@joycezsembery438]

I am new to EPP. After watching several different people teach on KZbin, your series has been the clearest and most helpful for me. Thank you so much!

[@juliewynd8326]

I’m finally glad to see someone stitch like me! And that has to be right as Tula said so.

[@heatherjones2521]

OMG!!! I have been English Paper piecing for a long time. Watching your. Video Tula it’s like I’m a beginner. I have learned so much from this one tutorial!! Thank you. I am going to take all of your advice!

[@QuilterGeny]

I’m doing my Passacaglia and her clases make realise that I’m slow because I do things that doesn’t matter at the end! So now I know I can go faster! Thanks FQS crew and Tula for making this video! Hugs for everyone!

[@beckyh.2900]

This is the best video series I have viewed about EEP. Thank you so much for a great detailed presentation with humor. I'm ready to create. 🙂

[@jennifermallett5371]

By far one of the best EPP series videos I have found. Tula made the videos easy to understand and took away the intimidation that comes with learning how to hand sew (EPP). She also provided good tips for needle choice, posture and ways of blending thread choice to fabric to name a few. Thank you FQ shop for making it possible!

[@casiec3134]

Ok... I started watching your videos out of curiosity. I really had no idea what EPP was. Not only did I fall in love with you I can’t wait to get started on my first quilt! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing amount of knowledge! You have saved me 15 years of trial and error. I will be watching your videos time and time again! Your new biggest fan, Casie

[@SewBunny]

This 3 part series was so incredibly informative, I have learnt a lot thankyou Tula for passing on your knowledge 🤗

[@myyprecious1]

Tula, I never gave it much thought... but I just realized that I've always sewn away from myself (backwards) too like you ever since I was a lil girl. Just always felt more natural to me. I truly enjoy your videos & I'm learning so much. You're an inspiration ♡ In Friendship, Ruth S.

[@joydicksonquilts]

I’ve been wanting to do English Paper piecing for years. I think Tula proved I can do it. She’s amazing. Thank you so much for having her do this tutorial. What a fantastic teacher.

[@debbiebarstow4223]

I love teaching style and attitude! You are so authentic! Thank you for sharing your gifts with us!

[@bonniekrueger4824]

[@twillett100]

I can see why Molly said she loves you! You’re adorable, smart and a great teacher! 🥰

[@whitejazwiec]

I have loved your fabric lines forever, but I have never paper pieced before. Thanks for these videos......I am so, so inspired!!! I am most thankful for the advice about NOT being perfect!!

[@renestovall9226]

Thank you Tula! You are a not only a successful artist and but a wonderful teacher!!!

[@sewfun196]

Thorough! Best Paper Piecing tutorial! Appreciate all the pros & cons, why's and why not's!

[@grannygamerquilter]

You've taught me a lot ... even though I'm 65 and have been sewing off and on since the 1970s. Your teaching style is very engaging and effective (I'm a retired teacher). Thanks so much for your informative and enjoyable information!

[@txcrafter4ever]

She teaches the way I can understand, I have had a learning disability all my life. Thx for the tutorial!-Maria

[@jacquelinetouchie9218]

OMGosh!! I howled when you did your thread Public Service announcement. That is soooo me!! Thank you so much for making these videos. They are amazingly detailed and packed with everything you need to know. I’m learning so much that I do need to watch them multiple times. Excellent tutorials. 💖💖

[@BanburyGal]

Tula - you are a great teacher! Thank you SO much - This newby to EPP now has more confidence to start a project.

[@tinafick792]

I love paper piecing but have been learning only by watching KZbin videos. This is the best one yet! Great tips! I’m defined order sew tight magnets. I struggled with knotting thread too. No longer will I struggle. Thank you Tula Pink!

[@southernheiter8538]

As an Occupational Therapist, your discussion of movement and torque is spot on.

[@trduesing4117]

Your videos are the BEST! Your instructions are the absolutely clear, concise, and easy to follow. I love your tutorials. Keep’em coming….please.

[@maryellenkinkel8525]

My phrase has always been, it’s thread people, it’s not Spohn gold. Love! Your videos on English paper piecing. Thanks to floss toss, I found you!!!

[@lisamarieesposito4842]

I am a newbie here. I have been sewing for many years....but EPP is new to me. I have been trying over and over to join my pieces together and realized that I was using a double strand of thread and you were using a single thread. My stitches were much better and not showing after I figured that out. So glad a friend told me to check your videos!! Now I just need to play catch up on them!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@valee1435]

I watched all of the paper piecing videos and am so glad I found then, You are terrific!

[@xg__garbled]

Thank you FQS and thank you Tula Pink for taking the time to make these English paper piecing videos. I’m so impressed. All 3 videos were so well done. Tula was amazing! She is an excellent teacher. She was clear and so informative explaining the how’s and the why’s. I learned so much. And videography was perfect allowing us to see exactly what Tula was doing. I’m so grateful for the collaboration and for the generosity of time and knowledge that was shared. A million thanks! 🦄🦋

[@heyBrownBerry]

This video is FULL of useful tips. Mostly I love that you explain The Why of any method.

[@charlenecastaldo3602]

Tula, where have you been all of my life? Great tutorials, great teacher! Thank you!

[@pattibach5103]

What a delight and privilege to have you share your vast knowledge with us! I feel so honored! As well as educated and entertained.

[@barbarahall8487]

My Mom passed away and I decided to pick up where she left off on ALL the myriad of projects she had started. Well I didn't know the first thing about English Paper Piecing lol. I started off just looking at where she stopped, how she did the previous work up to that point, and continued stitching. Decided to KZbin. Came across your 3 tutorials and thank goodness! Everything I watched up to this point only helped here and there. You've provided a COMPLETE guide from start to finish on how to do this which is beyond helpful! Thank you for putting the time into such a thorough explanation of how to! Wonderful life saving tips that I can now carry on with her works 😊

[@kathleendanley8508]

TULA and FQS thank you so much for this series on EPP. I have foundation paper pieced for years and I love it. I had never tried EPP and the suggestions for supplies have helped me so much. I did my first start and it came out ok. The next day my special needles came and oh my gracious what a difference. I also love the no knot process. Still need to order smaller Sewtites although the larger ones work for the project I started.

[@TheShmoo123]

Oh blimey, I WAS a licker & a knotter…..when you said you never knot, I broke into a sweat, but then I saw you do the thing I do when I finish….don’t know why I haven’t tried this before…thank you 👍🏽🙋🏽‍♀️

[@caroltemperley2261]

Loved this EPP video ❤️‍🔥 I have been sewing EPP for years and I have learned from Tula the "why" I have had some challenges. Thank you Tula and FQS !!

[@maryreichert7570]

I am new to your video's and I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed them And I learned so much. I consider myself an experiened seamstress of 60 years but you told me a lot of things I never knew or I have forgotten. Thank you and I will definitely be following you.

[@astorybookfinish5055]

What a fabulous tutorial!! Thank you, Tula! From someone who has a lot of wrist issues, and also wants to learn how to sew while sitting comfortably - in a comfortable chair, “THANK YOU!”

[@peggybinette8605]

I love hearing a pro who can tie knots. I feel so adequate now.

[@kimroesch4503]

TULA, I hang on your every word!!!! Your videos are the bomb!!!! Thank you for your time, knowledge, humor, and coolness!!!! Wish I lived next door to you!!! 😁

[@SammiJarrad]

I would take Tula Pink classes ALL DAY LONG!!! Amazing info, thank you so much for sharing! 💜💜💜💜💜

[@nancywhite2014]

OMG! My mind is blown! Thanks for sharing your awesome techniques in EPP. I’m just starting out in this quilting by hand journey. I learned quite a few new tricks from your videos. 🥰🪡🧵

[@carolswindler8692]

I didn’t know anything about English paper piecing until this tutorial. Your instructions were so informative. What an opportunity to watch you online and see the woman behind your great fabric line. Thank you so much Tula Pink and Fat Quarter Shop!

[@kmro57]

I trained myself to sew the way you do. It really makes a difference.

[@lushornpickett-millsaps8986]

Never too old to learn. Thank you! I am 64 and learning how to paper piece. Your tutorials are the best! Thanks again.

[@rossleebaker8842]

Yay, Someone else who sews away form themselves. I am always being told that I am sewing ‘back to front’. Great instructional series of videos.

[@juliakissel1151]

Excellent instructor!!! I especially like your explanations as to why you do something a certain way. Love your dry humor!

[@krissimpson999]

Awesome tutorial! I love the “thread drought” comment! I think I’ll remember and do better! 🤣
