Introduction to Foundation Paper Piecing

Come and learn the basics of foundational paper piecing! This is a great way to quickly pick up the basics so you can tackle more complex projects with ease. FPP takes a few blocks to be confident in your assembly skills so this 4 component square is the perfect bite sized project to best understand the concepts.
The class includes papers and scrap fabrics. If you have a specific colorway that you would like to try, this works well with scraps that are at least 4" square but you could also pull a few fat quarters. This class will be offered throughout the year or on demand.
I would recommend the following supplies, but they are not a requirement for the class:
Hera Marker (creases the paper to make it easier to fold exactly on the line to give precise points)
Add a Quarter Ruler (has a little ledge to make it easier to get a 1/4" trim line instead of needing to keep a traditional quilting ruler straight)
Flat head needles (you can get some with flowers or other icons, they lay flatter than beaded needles)

| Instructor Bio: | I started my Foundational Paper Piecing journey with a beginners class at Cary Quilting Company in 2020 to be able to tackle the Princess Parade quilt by LoRayMe. The quilt features 12 Disney Princesses and you end up with perfect and precise blocks with little effort (once you have the FPP concepts down). I recommend this class to kick off your FPP journey! |
