Skill Builder Class Series: Foundation Paper Piecing - In Studio Class

Saturday, April 25, 2025 - 10:30 am - 1:30 pm

Taught by Kim M.

Skill Level Suggestion: All Levels Welcome! - Everyone is encouraged to work at their own pace, ask questions, and enjoy the process - no matter where you’re starting from

Description

Foundation paper piecing (FPP) is a great way to achieve consistent seams with odd angles, tiny pieces or complex seams.  In this hands-on workshop, we will try both traditional and paperless FPP - a new take on the traditional technique while ensuring the same results. This class will cover the basics of both methods and some tips and tricks to ensure your success. 

You will be supplied with a simple shape to practice your skills.

Should you prefer to do your own design, feel free to bring the pattern printed on foundation paper and freezer paper.
