How to English Paper Piece by Jen Kingwell - Fat Quarter Shop

My grandmother used newspaper and old sears catalogs. I have found some left in her quilts.

Oh my gosh, I didn't recognize this is Kimberly until i heard her speak. I want to try EPP.

cool

I love Jen’s calm and knowledgeable teaching. Good close-ups on this video.

What size of needles do you recommend for a beginner? I had order size 9. I wasn't too sure what size to get.

Oh NO! I feel another obsession coming on!😬😁❤️

Card stock is a great paper to use for templates. It's used for subscription inserts in magazines. Plain sheets can be printed out or photocopied. Staple a few sheets together (staple through the middle of each shape) and cut out in multiples to save time.

Thank you 😊

thank you

where do i find the pattern for the flower

Jen, you mentioned a spray starch that makes you fabric soft, was is the name of it and who makes it? Thanks

Using ThreadHeaven on the Aurifil thread will keep it from curling and twisting. It makes it slide through the fabric easily, too.

The quilt in the back is so georgeous.. .and it gives plenty of ideas for quilting

what kind of paper we have to use for paper piecing? is thay possible to wash them after piecing?

Will be sure to re-watch this when my Sue Daley "Wagon Wheels" pattern comes in. I'm thinking 1930's fabrics on cream background. Thank you Fat Quarter Shop for all your wonderful Tutorials!

What fabric is she using? Someone please help!! Thanks loves😊😊

two tip/hints ive found really useful. run the thread through some beeswax it will help prevent knotting, and i starch the fabric so its as stiff as the card, and iron it or simply hold like card into shape, (just cover one of you templates with tin foil so you can use it again and again) that cuts out the need to stitch in and then remove the paper after, it also means you don't need to cut or buy hundreds of little paper templates....

I have never done this before but will try.  Love the accent, could listen to Jen for hours.
