Adventures in Quilting:
Foundation Paper Piecing!
Monday, 6:00 p.m.
January 11 – March 1
16+
Class:
In this class we will learn the basics of foundation paper piecing, a style of quilt piecing that allows the maker to create intricate, geometric designs using paper and fabric together. Foundation paper piecing (FPP) is a technique where you sew fabric directly onto a numbered template. Once the sewing is complete, the paper is then torn away from the back of the quilt block, leaving the intricate block design remaining.
This style of quilting gives quilters the ability to quilt very complex pieces with extreme accuracy. This is also a great way to utilize scraps.
This class is designed for attendees who have familiarity with operating a sewing machine and a basic understanding of traditional quilt piecing/straight piecing.
This is an INTERMEDIATE level class.
What You’ll Learn:
Attendees will learn what foundation paper piecing is, when FPP is used, how FPP is used and understanding how to read a FPP pattern, sewing techniques for FPP, and MORE!!!
What You’ll Leave With:
Students will leave with 4-6 sample blocks in various FPP styles and techniques. Students will leave with the knowledge and confidence to incorporate FPP patterns in their quilting.
