Make It Simpler Paper Piecing: Easy As 1-2-3 - A Pinless Fold and Sew Technique [Illustrated] [Paperback] Review

Make It Simpler Paper Piecing: Easy As 1-2-3 - A Pinless Fold and Sew Technique [Paperback]I had never been a huge fan of paper piecing before.It seemed silly to cut "hunks" of fabric and sew them to paper, trim them up and then have to pin and fuss to get the segments to end up just right.The cutting was wasteful, the pins made lumps and the matching...aargh!All those problems are addressed with this new method of paper piecing.I teach quilting and have taught three classes now using this book.Students of all levels are able to successfully compete their projects.Be warned, however, that this book is available in two sizes depending upon the edition.For accurate templates and patterns be sure you are purchasing the 9" wide edition.
