Basic Paper Piecing Tutorial and Practice Block
Short summary:
Paper piecing is useful for piecing odd angles and
small shapes. It adds stability for bias edges and it is generally more accurate than traditional piecing. The fabric pieces are sewn to paper in a specified order. ...
Long summary:
If you are making a large number of blocks from the
same template, you may wish to rough cut all of the
same fabric type for each part of the block at one time. But you should first cut just one and sew it to make sure it is the right size. In general, you will rough cut the fabric about 1/2 inch larger than the final piece on each side. Pretend you are cutting 1/2 inch seam allowances. Cutting even larger is OK too.
Make a copy of the sample block above.
1. Rough cut a rectangle that will cover the 1 section with 1/2" seam allowances on all 4 sides. Place fabric 1 right side down, under the 1 section of the paper pattern with at least 1/4" extending beyond the sewing lines. Pin the paper to the fabric. You may wish to hold the fabric and paper combination up to a light source to make sure the 1 paper section is covered. Now baste across the paper/fabric to hold piece 1 in
place.
