Paper Piecing tutorial pt 1

Paper Piecing tutorial pt 1

You will need a hot iron. Preferably no steam since paper is involved.

Add-A-Quarter Ruler.  ™ If you do not have one you can use a see through ruler with a clear 1/4″ line.

Elmers  Washable School Glue or pins. The glue will make sense when we begin to join the completed templates.

Elmers Glue Stick (I prefer purple). For securing your first patch on each template.

Card stock for turning, such as a post card. I use the 3 x 5 photo paper that comes with ink cartridges.

Rotary cutter and mat will speed the process but you could get by with scissors.

I prefer 50 wt cotton thread for paper piecing. Keep in mind heavier thread, heavier seams.
