This class will teach you the fundamentals of foundation paper piecing, making it perfect for beginners or anyone looking to build confidence with this technique. We will start from the very beginning, covering the basics of reading a foundation pattern, fabric selection, cutting, placement, sewing order, trimming, and pressing. Step by step, you'll work through eight units to create a beautiful finished block while learning tips and techniques for achieving accurate points and crisp seams. By the end of class, you'll have a completed block, a solid understanding of foundation paper piecing, and the confidence to tackle more advanced patterns on your own.

 

Material fee includes: Pattern paper pieces, folding template, fabric for project as well as fabric to finish in to a wall hanging.
