I love the precise results paper piecing gives, I hate taking the paper off though, but I figure it is just part of the process.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07999097330359965266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7311599214954370370.post-68615057224094968672015-08-07T14:56:39.867+02:002015-08-07T14:56:39.867+02:00Such a pretty quilt top!

I get my tweezers out and pick all the bits out.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04435504099565596014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7311599214954370370.post-41833038515535779812015-08-06T08:07:06.618+02:002015-08-06T08:07:06.618+02:00What a wonderful finish, I love the colorful fabri...What a wonderful finish, I love the colorful fabrics with the white background! For my PP-projects I always use a very small stitch (about 1.0 to 1.2) which really makes it easy to tear the paper off. And when sewing different pieces together I rip off the "seam allowance" part of the paper immediately after sewing. At that time it's easy to do :-)Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08898915501837567483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7311599214954370370.post-68683420399385365992015-08-05T22:36:30.520+02:002015-08-05T22:36:30.520+02:00In relation to @Judy: I am currently using some le...In relation to @Judy: I am currently using some leave in foundation in my skill builder BOM. I am also very curious how the leave in will work out. BTW you don't have to wash the top. You leave it in till the quilt is finished and wash it then. Besides beeing quite expensive, if it works then it might be a good solution for some projects nonetheless.<br /><br />Regarding your "clear picture" question: I don't have the answer yet, but your pondering reminds me of my thoughts on the watercolour vlies I have used. I like it a lot in some regards (accuracy, speed) but dislike it's stiffness (cuddling?) and stubborn behavior whilst ironing/ pressing.

The papers can be re-used and none to remove! I learned it with my guild, but this tutorial looks like the same technique: http://www.oregoncoastalquilters.org/links/paperlesspiecing.htmlHeidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00546043492549930952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7311599214954370370.post-2485468858749777152015-08-05T14:12:53.619+02:002015-08-05T14:12:53.619+02:00Such a lovely quilt!

I use a stitch length that is so short that it perforates the paper, making it easy to fold back and rip off. A friend uses blank newspaper to do her paper piecing. She irons it first (it tends to shrink w/ the heat), cuts it to size, and sends it through the manual feed on her printer. I haven't tried that method yet, but it intrigues me!Michelle @ From Bolt to Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04859748817323229803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7311599214954370370.post-2253530824548012182015-08-05T11:57:35.467+02:002015-08-05T11:57:35.467+02:00Beautiful top!

I recently read about foundation paper that dissolves. . . this of course means submerging the top in water. . . that would make me a little nervous :) Judy@Quilt Paradigmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04853567189199120222noreply@blogger.com
