I went to a class recently on paper piecing and had a wonderful time. I was exhausted because not only was paper piecing and quilting new to me but I am 75 and recovering from a stroke. It took me so long to do one block and I still have not torn away the paper. Each block consists of 8 sections. I have 16 more blocks to complete. The one block took me almost 5 hours. The next day I tried your method. WOW! I completed the block in a lot less time. I was able to check and see if the material covered each section a lot easier and no paper to tear away. They look identical. I also did a birdhouse pattern I had for practice. I downloaded this pattern and am eager to try it. You brought a grown man to tears and I thank you. This is also the first comment I have ever written.

[@TheSewingChannel]

Well thank you so much for coming on to let me know. I am so glad this video was helpful....Quilt on my friend❣️

[@lb4001]

I am so inspired by you and love watching Tracy's videos which only came up in utube recently. I subscribed straight away. Keep going. Tracy is a wonderful teacher✂️🧵🧷

[@patricklee5578]

My wife does not sew thru the paper. She transfers pattern to freezer paper using window or light box. Cuts out pattern pieces-numbered, use tracing wheel to score fold line. folds that back after afixing material , places add-a-quarter or add-a-eight ruler, trims material and procedes-no need to tear paper and the freezer paper can be used several times, using hot dry iron to hold material in place.

[@mammafo]

Yes with the wax paper no glue stick needed

[@redknitter]

This technique changed my whole attitude about paper piecing. Thank you so much. This makes it so easy to understand and get great results. I'm not pulling my hair out anymore.

[@lindagivvin2235]

I've used this technique before and used my stitch-in-the-ditch foot to get my seam as close to the paper without sewing on the paper. Thanks for sharing the Starburst pattern!

[@TheSewingChannel]

Great tip Linda✅ Thank you !

[@tangledthreadworks]

I've used this method before but never thought of using my SITD foot - thanks!

That's a great idea I love that foot

Tha kyou for this tutorial

[@momof2641]

Sorry for all the nagging comments 🙈 I just wanted to say that this is my first time watching your videos and I as a beginner love how you go into detail every step of the way and the tips you (especially about starting in the middle to get everything lined up nicely, I’ve never seen that before) give are much appreciated. Your videos cover the seasoned quilters and also help the beginner sewers as well. I think a lot of people forget that usually beginner sewers coming to KZbin for help. So thank you so much for taking the time and explaining everything so well, it’s incredibly appreciated ❤️🙏

[@leisaburke2463]

This is so awesome! I knew someone would figure out how to do this much easier. I could never get mine to look right after flipping it over, it seems so wrong to sew without looking at it. Thank you so much showing us all how to do this.

[@TheSewingChannel]

Glad I could help Leisa...there is no way I could consistently do this the traditional way...I would get frustrated trying to get the paper out of the stitches GRRRR..no way that's not for me!✅

Tracy, I love this!! And I'm so happy I'm not the only quilter who is both happy and sometimes surprised when my points come together the way I want them to. 🤠

[@TheSewingChannel]

It's a good day when points match for sure!!!🎉

[@momof2641]

You could also print this out on the non waxy side of freezer paper and then use your iron to hold everything together on the waxy side. Everything is the same except you use your iron in place of glue and your end product might be a little crisper since you’d be ironing. I love using the freezer paper and you get just as many uses from the freezer paper as regular paper

[@afireinside142]

That tip about starting to sew in the center is major, never thought about that

What a great new way to do FPP! I am so excited about not having to tear out papers and also not need 80 pieces of paper for my foundations! Thanks for this tutorial!

[@SewAndTellwithDori]

BRAVO!!!! Thanks for relenting and doing this video, Tracy! Much more complicated than the first paper piecing block in your last video. Don't think I could have figured it out correctly without watching this video had I decided to give it a try. Made for a good pt. 2 for your channel this week, huh? 😉 Praying your area of the country isn't being bombarded by fire, monsoon floods, or excessive heat! Sewing hugs!!! 💜

[@TheSewingChannel]

So many had asked why I didn't show the more difficult block in the first vid...but if I had I think it would have been too much at once🤷🏻‍♀️ No floods,fires or heatwaves here✅ We are in good shape here in OHIO💛 Sewing hugs right back!!!!

[@SewAndTellwithDori]

@@TheSewingChannel It was good that you posted the tutorials as you did. The first was at a level that most people could do without much difficulty; the second was at more of an intermediate level. I completely agree that doing them both in the same video would have been far too much at once. Ya done good yet again, Tracy! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@TheSewingChannel]

Thanks Dori. 💛💛💛

[@Brandi62]

Does your tracing wheel actually make little holes in your paper? I have an older one and I wanted to make sure it is like yours.

It’s also called “paperless” paper piecing. Two great aids are the “add a quarter inch” ruler (which comes in several lengths), and a “stitch-in-the-ditch” foot.

Awesome Winne thank you so much for the info✅

Excellent video! I haven’t read through all the comments, but I’ve never seen anyone FPP on the lined side of the fabric? And a suggestion or two…add a quarter ruler in 6”, 12”, or/and 18” is a FPP game changer along with printer sized and compatible freezer paper.

I’m using a cheap children’s art paper pad on a very similar 8 pointed star PP pattern and you’re right. I hate tearing out the paper, but the paper I’m using tears right off and doesn’t add too much bulk thru all the seams. next time, I’ll try it this way.

Have you thought of using double sided fashion tape? I've been working on a double wedding ring quilt and the archs are done with foundation paper piecing. I found the tape helps for the first piece. 😊

[@dotretired]

Great video! Most brands of machines have an "edge foot' or "stitch in the ditch" foot which rides right along the paper. So easy! For Bernina it's #10, #10C or #10D. Thank for all your great video Tracy!!

[@gamadebdegamadebde]

Thank you for showing us this "floating star", my name for this one. Two questions. 1. How do you keep your tips from being sucked down into feed dogs and ruining the points without a little leader scrap? 2. Why do you open the seams in final ironing instead of seams all to one side? Swore I would never, ever, do another paper pieced star but will have to try this one. Great tutorial.

[@TheSewingChannel]

The way I keep my "tips" from getting sucked in....Line it up with needle right above where it will go into fabric-Drop your needle or hand wheel your needle down first prior to starting to sew.(you'll hear me in the vid say "drop your needle"). I open my seams at the end because I feel it lays more flat.☑️ Thank you for the kind feedback too💛
