Easiest tutorial using foundation paper that I have ever seen. Lovely!

[@christyh4991]

Your piecing tutorial is the best I've watched so far. I'm still not ready to attempt it so I may have to watch you oh...about 100 times. You are fun to watch and I love your camera angle! Thank you!

[@trishc4531]

Since I don’t have a light box, I open my iPad browser to a blank white screen. Works pretty well.

[@platystrophia]

Great idea! I’m doing it!

[@WendyBonds-o9x]

What a beautiful rainbow heart! BOOM...You're AWESOME!!💯💜

[@TaylorMarie831]

I watched soooo many other videos and none made sense. As soon as I saw that you had one, I knew I would understand it. I follow you on tiktok and you understand how to explain things to people. Thank you!

[@louiseah7662]

I have been spinning my seams since I watched your video, but the rope about just doing the centre with the longer stitch length is BRILLIANT!!

[@deborahfitzer6877]

An extra tip....when you fold the paper back to cut the quarter inch put a postcard between the paper to give a sturdy line for the ruler to sit against.

[@plinkthecat8543]

I miss this guy!

[@kydawson]

Best paper piecing tutorial ever 🤩

[@alindac1]

I love the idea of sewing a "basting" stitch in the center to check if it lines up!!! Also this keeps it in place while you're sewing the whole thing without having to use bulky pins!! This is a fabulous tutorial!! I've watched several and none of them have made sense really until yours!! Definitely am going to try FPP now because you made it look so easy!! Thank you "sew" much!!! P.S. Sorry for all the exclamation points! I'm just so excited to finally see a video that makes FPP look easy!!!😁😁😁💜💙💚💛🧡❤💙💙💙💙

[@debbiedobbins6785]

That was an awesome tutorial. Thank you so much. I think I’m ready to try it. 🙏🤪🙏🤪 have a marvelous weekend sir.

[@erinl7376]

I have watched all the Jordan Fabrics tutorials which I love, but you are my spirit animal 😂🥰 love your videos and energy! Thanks fir sharing!

[@mariarogers3760]

I have watch other paper piecing youtube videos and you are the easiest to understand and actually see what you are doing at the machine.

[@PatriciaFerdig]

Thanks for this tutorial! I watched this a couple times, then printed out a design, traced it onto stabilizer paper, and went at it! I loved the result and this was the first time I've had really good results with quilting. Kiddo helped with fabric choice and it was a really nice afternoon for us. Thanks!

[@sashajamison]

I’ve done foundation paper piecing a few times but I’m really going ham with a crazy wall hanging and quilt for Christmas presents. Say a little prayer for me - love the tutorial!!

[@critic8134]

nice tutorial.d steps r shown slowly n medhodically.thank u

[@jackietucker8942]

I shared this with a friend who needed to know how to do this - and the easiest video to understand. You Go Mr. Domestic.

[@creativecompanion]

I have been watching paper piecing videos in total confusion. Finally, yours made sense to me. Thank you. Great demonstration.

[@creativecompanion]

@@MxDomestic Update! I finished my first paper piecing block last night! I'm off and running now! Thanks again!

[@michaeldelvecchio4567]

This basically changed my foundation paper piecing life. I’ve been doing it for a little over a year, been struggling all along - sew, rip, sew, rip, sew - and the trimming the next seam tip really helped a ton. Thank you!

[@jeans.9664]

I love your tutorials - thank you for taking the time to demonstrate each step so clearly. Your videos are fun and so encouraging. I'm a huge fan 🌈❤️

[@ktme26752]

Love the idea of doing the center stitch to check before stitching the whole thing. I've could have saved so much time on my lady project. Sadly I had to use the seam ripper a lot

[@yvettefry-perez311]

You totally made this happen. for me! Have been struggling big time! Cutting the seam allowance was the trick!

[@marlenebowker1109]

Thank you! You've explained it in a clear, fun way I'm a fan and subscribed❤👍

[@trishh7428]

Oh my gosh I finally get it! thank you!!!! Also, you make me nervous with your rotary cutter LOL

[@patticlaude1]

I know what you mean... whatever works. I love your heart pattern. I'm following you because you are the bomb!

[@bonniee9015]

Do you have the top half of the heart pattern?

[@cherylsoucy4966]

Thank You Mr Domestic

[@laikagonzalez9879]

You’re the best I was trying to do paper piecing you’re video is the best

[@maryjperalta2562]

LOL, sound effects with instructions or is it instructions with sound effects. I appreciate your video!

[@Jana-TheCraftyGambler]

You really make this so easy to understand. My brain does not want realize I am essentially sewing backwards.

[@Jana-TheCraftyGambler]

I love my little roller. It saves me so many steps to and from the iron.

[@HOKUINHI]

Absolutely love you! You got me up & to my machine! I’m gonna try my first paper piecing!

[@janetehoffman]

I just visited the copy store and made copies of a pattern for sail boats, I made way to many copies in case I really mess up, but this tutorial has reduced my fear of FPP. THANK YOU SO MUCH,

[@eringetting8905]

I'm not sure if my earlier comment uploaded or not - if so, sorry for the duplicate. I just found you today with this tutorial - perfect for Valentine's Day! I'm a new quilter, so I'm learning a lot, but this turned out great - thanks for the tutorial!

[@joannekunz2619]

Thank you for this easy to understand explanation on paper piecing. I can't wait to try this on my Arboretum Quilt I plan on making. Appreciate your video tutorial.

[@maplelassuk]

Thank you Mr D! I have now got foundation paper and printed this off perfectly...and am going to try and get my head around it by doing your sample. And...you are so hilarious!

[@bonniee9015]

Do you have the top half of the heart pattern?

[@betterbetty3542]

I absolutely love the piece! So colorful and beautiful!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@tracieandthemachine]

Great tutorial! Thank you!

[@Zylixj39]

Awesome video! And what a fun host. I'm super jealous of your machine, but one day I'll get there. Recently upgraded from a 1975 kenmore to a janome s5. Different worlds! Keep up the awesome work and great videos!

[@deeztube1]

Oh my gosh, I just love your energy and sound effects! I do that too. LOL

[@donnaheflin6312]

Best explanation I’ve seen! Thanks

[@bonniee9015]

I just found your site last night, and just love your instruction. I have spent the entire day searching for the pattern for the top half of the heart. Is there anybody out there than can help me, PLEASE!!!!!

[@chandrazink4830]

You gave me two super tricks! Stoked. Thanx

[@stephaniejw9404]

[@lourdessaragiotto5763]

[@teresacole8899]

[@vintagesewingbox]

This is a great tutorial, thank you so much 😊

[@sandra-leebernier941]

[@lisawilde781]

OMG I LOVE IT ❤️

[@mikelleperry]

I just finished piecing a huge nativity scene. I didn’t know about the seam roller. I should have watched your tutorial for this 😭

[@lulienne8212]

So pretty! Great job.

[@laikagonzalez9879]

You’re the best I’m going to master this

[@1tbaccus]

Love Love Love! Been wanting to try. But it's like my brain says Tonya Girl stick with what you know you will mangle this. Sorry yes I talk to myself LOL.....

[@vivalasfreckles653]

Wonderful and very enlightening tutorial. I learned 2 new things here. If you left the paper would it pulp or fall apart over time... Even if air dried after washing?

[@lanapoulliot7682]

Gorgeous

[@poocky100]

That was a great video. thanks so much

[@sarahcontento9516]

Someday I want a Falisha she is so much nicer than my Benny. But Benny`s never let me down. :)

[@sewandcraftwithnuha]

This is indeed beautiful :)

[@dianareddell1496]

❤️ you’re the best!!

[@lorimattheiss5618]

This was a very cool tutorial. I just started tp learn so this was very helpful. Unfortunately I cannot seem to get any of the pattern links to work. How do I get the pattern? thanks

[@marciarogal2027]

Great tutorial. I wish the link to the heart pattern still worked. I went to the Mr. Domestic website and the Amazon shop, I can't find it. If anyone has a working link, please let me know! Thank you!

[@ADHDAquatics]

I love your videos ❤️

[@donnacamp5663]

love paper piecing you are so funny you make me smile thank you for the video and your time cute heart would be pretty all different color pinks I like pink lol

[@ZenHoki]

Could you tell me the fabric you used here please! And I know a lot of work but also tell me the color names of the solids. I love your heart

[@patriciastein]

Matthew, it isn't 100% clear when you trim with the quarter ruler. Is it before or after the subsequent piece is shown?

[@mommaice]

You make it look so easy. Me? I'm a train wreck!! I'll get it eventually lol

[@mommaice]

I don't recall....is there a special invite for that?

[@mommaice]

awesome! registered!! Sooooo many patterns to choose from. I need something very very simple to start with.

[@СветланаИванова-т3й]

SUPER 👍👍👍

[@janetteaguirre-terry2986]

TFS!! I actually found your tut so easy to learn. Thank you. Your awesome!!!!! It is beautiful and colorful. I don’t have a favorite color. I love love all the colors. What’s the seam roller called or where can I buy. I have the mini clover iron but it doesn’t do a great job. That roller looks like it just fattens that seam. It probably helps when you flatter, starch, best press your fabric pieces prior to sewing block.

[@pattikelley4840]

ONLY bottom half of pattern is provided in the link below. I think it’s important that you mention this. I printed off 4 copies thinking I’d try this and then realized to get top half of heart pattern I have to purchase the entire pillow pattern. If I hadn’t felt tricked I probably would’ve purchased it.

[@sevenandthelittlestmew]

I liked the tutorial! I don’t have a light box, though, and your table shakes so much.. hurts my head! Love the neon pink, though - it helps me see your project easier. Thanks for sharing!

[@lucysumerlin6254]

Wondering what brand sewing machine you have.

[@grandchildren16]

Can’t find the top part of the pattern piece to make the heart where is it ? Please let me know it’s a cute pattern

[@lesliehall4820]

Tutorial is great, but there was no mention that the first fabric should face away from you and the remaining fabrics will all face you. I realize that for this square since the colors are all solids with no print that this won't matter.

[@rominadavis6616]

Hello, thanks for your explanation. I downloaded the pattern but the top of the heart is missing

[@markwilliams1824]

What sort of paper does one use? Something light? Parchment 📜? Or is there a specific type one should get? Like not using printer paper? Or any paper ? 💙🏳️‍🌈🐻

[@sheliawood1563]

Brilliant I've watched you before .where can we buy these patterns .I don't have a printer ,thanks ,

[@Flaget60]

My "lightbox" is an x-ray reader that was being discarded at my doctor's office. I have yet to figure this PP out, but I'm trying

[@teresacole3915]

AWESOME

[@rominadavis6616]

Hola 😁 quisiera saber dónde puedo conseguir el patrón para la parte de arriba del corazón. Gracias 🤩

[@jessicarochon3480]

I can't find the pattern anymore the link doesn't work and I couldn't find it on your site?

[@markwilliams1824]

Links don’t work except the bottom of the heart.. where can I get the top part?

[@Ione1916]

Mr. Domestic - The link to the Love-is-Love pattern does not work. Can you help?

[@barbarasylvester6063]

Thanks for the great video! The link to purchase heart top doesn't work. is there another site

[@hsmith4457]

brilliant!

[@rdaniels791]

What machine are you using?

[@jennifervale8297]

Love this tutorial! But, I have questions about the foundation paper. What paper do you use? Do you put the paper through your printer? I have never done FPP before. TIA

[@jennifervale8297]

Thank you you help and for your tutorial! 👍🏼🙂

[@laikagonzalez9879]

What machine do you use

[@pegpeg3939]

[@alindac1]
