I could not agree more with the comment below me. Jennifer, you have explained and demonstrated paper piecing that is much easier to learn than any other tutorial I have watched. There was definitely a learning curve but with repetition it begins to come together. Since I have learned this technique I feel like I have the confidence to use this technique on more complicated projects. And in my opinion, paper piecing using freezer paper is less efficient. So thank you Jennifer for giving me the confidence now to make my quilts with greater precision and effect.

My brain loves the detail and precision in paper piecing... so do I 😀 Your workflow is awesome. My only problem was that I'm stingy with materials in general, so I kept making finding the right piece of fabric harder than it needed to be 😁. I'm going to keep this block for myself, as it was my first one 😊. But I'm already planning the second one, which I'll donate to a quilt guild in Australia. They're collecting tree blocks to make quilts they'll donate to those affected by the recent fires. (I'll need to figure out how to add a border so the block meets their size requirement of 12.5 by 12.5"). Thank you! 😊💓

Hi, Claudia. Thank you so much for the lovely comment! To make your block 12 1/2", you can add a border: 1 1/2" strips on top and bottom, 2 1/2" strips on the sides.

It's my pleasure, I'm so glad you found my video useful. :) You can grade those bulky areas by trimming them on an angle or trimming the different layers at different widths, depending on what the pattern needs. I use a small pair of sharp scissors whenever I need to do that. In some cases, you can also press seams open instead of to one side. Play with it and see what works best for you. Happy sewing!

@sewhookedjen2 ай бұрын
Hi there! Welcome to the wonderful world of paper piecing! I generally prefer to leave the paper on until the block is pieced into its final location. That will ensure that stretchy bias edges are stitched into place before you pull the paper out. It helps to avoid stretching those edges out of shape. You can also stitch around the outside edge of your block and then remove the paper before it is added to your project. Once you've done it for a while, you'll definitely have a preference and whatever you choose to do is absolutely okay as long as it works for you. I hope that helps! Happy stitching.

I love your video and Harry Potter patterns! I've been working on my Project of Doom blocks, and I'm having trouble when it comes to seaming different sections (A>B, etc.) together. I use your technique with the pins in the corner, but when I sew the seam and check the bottom side, the seam is almost always several centimeters to the inside of where the seam should be, but the top is exactly right. Do you have any tips for pinning and seaming sections together correctly?
@sewhookedjen7 жыл бұрын
Hmm. Try to always work from the same corner, such as always choosing a bottom or top corner for your alignment pin. If the printed pattern is skewed a bit (a sadly unavoidable problem with most printers), the pinning can really help with that. If you keep having issues like that, please send me a couple of photos (sewhooked at gmail) and I'll see if I can help you figure out what's happening.
@01Tangled7 жыл бұрын

@delawurl59388 жыл бұрын
Hi Jennifer, I was wondering; I have now paper pieced several blocks to use in a quilt. But, I find that the blocks are not quite the size they should be. Usually just a skant smaller, but enough to cause a problem with quilting. When I sew on the paper piecing, should I use a skant 1/4" so that when it folds over, I do not short myself? Thanks for your help:) Dela Wurl
@sewhookedjen8 жыл бұрын
Hi Dela, Shrinkage is a fairly common problem with paper piecing. It's usually caused by the actual printing process, either because the printer isn't 100% accurate or because scaling needs to be turned off before printing. There's usually an option to "print at 100%" or "no scaling" or similar that will print the pattern at actual size. It's always a good idea to double check that setting. All of my newer patterns include a 1" scale, and I'm slowly adding them to my older patterns as well. If the pattern you're using does have a scale, you can measure the scale before piecing to ensure it will be the correct size. When stitching block units together, it's best to use the 1/4" allowed because changing that could change the way the pattern itself turns out when the different parts come together. If you're working on a pattern like the one in this video, you can simply wait until the end to square up your block and add the small amount needed to make it the correct size. This becomes much more of an issue if you're working on something geometric that is intended to interlock. In that case, the more accurate the pattern is printed, the better. I hope that helps! Thanks so much for your question. If there's anything else I can do to help, don't hesitate to ask.
@delawurl59388 жыл бұрын
Thanks, Jennifer, I will check all of your suggestions out. I do know that my home printer does print "off" a bit, so I took the pattern to the local staples and they printed it. They told me the distortion (even though it was minimal, it was still evident) from my printer is due to how the paper is pulled over the roller...it actually sort of stretches the paper. I was thinking more about the scant 1/4 " vs the regular 1/4" and the folding back of the piece when pressing. I will need to work on the squaring up process at the end. lol Thanks again! ps yours is the best video I have ever viewed....and I view a lot of them:)
@sewhookedjen8 жыл бұрын
Oh, how interesting to know that can happen! The seam allowance when you're piecing the units should not change the size of your actual block, but give it a try. I'd love to know if it helps! If you're ever using one of my patterns and it doesn't have a scale on it, let me know and I'll add one. I have so many, sometimes I don't know when I've missed one!

@sewhookedjen6 жыл бұрын
Hi, Stacey! I'm so glad you found my video useful! I personally like recycled printer paper, but there are definitely more options. Some quilters like to print their patterns on newsprint or tracing paper because it's more delicate and easier to remove. The only downside to that can be if you're working on something very intricate because the paper can start falling off. Some quilters like water-soluble stabilizer, which does work, but it can get pricey to use. Whenever I teach a new student, I always give them options and recommend they try them all to find what works best for them! Happy sewing!

Hi, Jan. If you take a small enough stitch (I use about a 1.4 on my personal machine), the paper will self-perforate and you'll find it's very easy to remove. I've never had a problem removing paper or with stitches becoming lose as long as the stitches are small. I use recycled printer paper, which is a little lighter in weight, which I find easier to work with. There are quilters who prefer to use water-soluble stabilizer to stitch on, but it is not by any means inexpensive, and I paper piece far too much for that.

Do you take off the rest off the rest of the paper?

Hi, Wendy. Yes, absolutely. I generally take the paper off before quilting, after the block has been sewn to borders or other blocks. This is how I like to do it, but you can take the paper off sooner if you like, being careful to not stretch any bias edges that you may have left from piecing.

Thank you so much! I do have an older sewing machine pattern that is paper pieced. You can find it in the free pattern archive or by searching "all about sewing." I hope that helps! Happy sewing.

I design in EQ. They have a channel here on KZbin with loads of information on how to use their software. Have a great weekend!

I don’t cut pieces of fabric. I just use it from the strip. No waste

Such a wonderful tutorial video! I learned so much from this video and was able to (almost) fearlessly start a practice piece. I'll be starting the Project of Doom ( www.fandominstitches.com/2011/05/harry-potter.html ) in a couple days and am fully confident that I can do this! By the way, the same person doing this video is the one who runs the Fandom In Stitches site. :-D #FandomInStitches #ProjectOfDoom #POD #PaperPiecing #Quilting
