   Stars and Pines:  English Paper Piecing for ALL Levels

English paper piecing is a traditional sewing method where paper pieces fit together like a puzzle - add fabric, stitch them together, and you have a quilt! EPP is sewing that can go with you anywhere making it your on-the-go sewing project!.   

Choose your own favorite colorway for the class. You may substitute a project of your own choosing for the class if you prefer.  
 
This class, for all skill levels, starts with printing and cutting your own EPP papers which opens up major design possibilities. You will learn how to change the colors and values in the star blocks to achieve a different look. You will go on to learn how to baste your fabric to the papers, sew them together with one of three kinds of stitches, and how to hold your sewing (which is more important than you might think.) Whether you create the included project or add these to another EPP project, you will be able to confidently piece anything.

This class is presented in collaboration with Creative Spark.  Watch the video course desciption here:  English Paper Piecing: Stars and Pines  You will have access to this course for as long as you need to complete your project.  You can watch as many times as you like.
