This is a class teaching the Foundation paper piecing (FPP) quilting technique, for improvers. We will be making a star quilt block.

This is an sewing machine improvers class, you will need to be able to thread your machine and sew a straight line.

Foundation paper piecing is a easy accessable technique, even if you've only just stared sewing, which involves sewing fabric onto a printed paper pattern, along the patterns straight lines, without the worry of that even seam allowance!

It is a crisp, repeateably accurate technique, great at sharp points, geometric shapes, and intricate designs, which would otherwise by difficult with traditional piecing. With the fabric on the foundation of the paper, its easy to handle, and maintain, neat tidy seams. Your made quit blocks are easily incorporated into all your sewing projects, from bags, pouches, cushion tops, etc. Even for the experienced sewer, it is wealth of exciting designs to make, once you have this technique under your belt.
