Foundation paper piecing is a great project for any sewist from beginner to advanced. There is always something new to learn! We will begin our time discussing general information about foundation paper piecing, best practices and tools. Then we will begin our project together and work step by step through foundation paper piecing. More advanced students are encouraged to move forward while I work with students requiring more hands on instruction. If time allows advanced techniques will be covered with students who are ready for them. Throughout the class period I will stop the group and demonstrate as questions arise. Before the end of our time together we will cover paper removal, finishing and quilting.
