Foundation Paper Piecing



In our foundation paper piecing class, you'll embark on a journey of precise and intricate quilting. This workshop is tailored to quilters with some experience, but an adventurous beginner would also find value in this class. FPP is a systematic approach to creating complex and detailed quilt blocks with ease. This method uses paper templates to guide your stitches and ensures perfect alignment and accuracy. Master the technique of sewing fabrics onto paper patterns, producing sharp points, intricate angles, and beautifully intricate designs. Through step-by-step instruction and hands-on practice, you'll gain the confidence to tackle challenging quilt patterns and unlock a new world of quilting possibilities. Join us to refine your skills and create stunning, precise quilt blocks.

Things you will need for this class:

  • Sewing machine in good working order (if need be, you may borrow one of ours in class, but it is best to learn on your own machine)
  • Brand new needle (I prefer microtex for this)
  • Open toe presser foot (not free motion)
  • Neutral piecing thread (grey, beige, etc.)
  • Fabric scraps in a range of values (lights and darks - optional, scraps will be available)
  • Temporary fabric glue stick
  • Add a quarter ruler
