Perfect Points – Foundation Paper Piecing Introduction

Master Crisp Points & Perfect Angles in Just 2.5 Hours!

Ever wondered how quilters achieve razor-sharp points and intricate geometric designs without the frustration of stretched fabric? The secret is Foundation Paper Piecing (FPP)—a game-changing technique where you sew directly onto printed paper foundations for guaranteed precision every single time.

Whether you’re brand new to quilting or looking to add a powerful new skill to your sewing toolkit, this relaxed, hands-on 2.5-hour workshop is the perfect place to start.

What You’ll Learn

• The FPP Fundamentals: How to read paper templates, line up your fabric, and sew by numbers.
• Troubleshooting Made Easy: Trimming, pressing, and tear-away techniques to leave you with clean, crisp quilt blocks.
• A Finished Project: You’ll complete a stunning paper-pieced block during class that you can turn into a coaster, mini wall hanging, or cushion panel!

Checklist: What to Bring

We supply all paper patterns, template cards, and expert guidance. Here is what you’ll need to bring along:

• Fabric: A selection of cotton fabric scraps or 3–4 contrasting Fat Quarters (brights, small prints, or solids work great!).
• Basic Sewing Kit:
  • Fabric scissors and small thread snips.
  • Fine sewing pins.
