Foundation Paper Piecing (FPP) Class - – - $35 per person
Discover the precision and beauty of foundation paper piecing (FPP) - an excellent technique for achieving sharp points and intricate designs that are often difficult with traditional quilting methods. FPP is a game-changer for patterns like stars, geometric shapes, and more. With this method, you'll never lose a point again!
This class is perfect for beginners or anyone looking to build confidence with FPP. We'll start with simple designs to help you master the basics and gradually refine your skills. You'll learn useful tips like pre-folding paper along stitching lines, adjusting stitch length for easy paper removal, and alternate techniques for using paper templates more efficiently. We’ll also cover tools such as the Add-A-Quarter ruler, which makes trimming seams more precise and manageable.
