Have some intricate quilt designs caught your eye recently? Have you thought to yourself, “how the heck did they even do that?” Let’s get together and discover the world of foundation paper piecing. Often used for intricate designs, FPP can also be the secret to perfectly pointed quilt blocks. FPP uses a template to guide your stitches allowing you to master sharp angles and exact seam alignments. In this class you’ll learn the proper steps to approach a FPP pattern as we de-mystify the process. By the end of your class you will have gained the confidence to tackle those complex patterns. 

 This class is best suited to someone who understands seam allowances and the basic operation of a sewing machine. 

You will learn how to:

• Thread our classroom machines

• Use the “trim, sew, press” cycle that builds your block

• Master fabric placement

• Reduce the bulk and manage small pieces

• Easily remove the paper without damaging the stitches

You will need:

• Quilting cotton scraps to create your block; roughly 0.5m of various colours and patterns to suit the class pattern

• Coordinating thread 

We will provide:

• The use of all the tools necessary for a successful project. 

• Printed pattern pages
