NEW WAY Foundation Paper Piecing FPP Quilt Block Technique 

I have heard that Winne...thank you for reminding me of it 💛✅

Agreed! I love that ruler.

Wow great idea!!!✅ Thank you so much💛

@@TheSewingChannel Tracy, maybe you cd demo this idea with a close up? I get confused with some of these “helper feet” ! Thx. 🌷

Thank you for the tip!✅

Just a thought: IDT you can put freezer paper thru a laser printer w/o melting it, so for those of us w/o an ink jet: be forewarned. 😮😬😂

@@susanmei9980 Sorry but want to make sure I understand what you said. You can use a laser printer with freezer paper but not an ink jet printer ? And, on what side of the paper should the design be printed ? The shiny part or the paper part ? TYIA !

@@gigiontube Sorry but you got it backwards: Laser printers heat up to fuse the toner onto the paper, so you don’t want to run thru anything that will melt, such as freezer paper or sheets of fusible web. The upside is that if your printed paper gets wet, the ink won’t run. However, ink jets do not heat up. They just print with ink. The down side is that if your printed page gets wet, the ink will run. But ink tanks are also quite pricey, and run out quickly; or dry up if you don’t print regularly. I got tired of the expense. When printing on freezer paper, you want to print on the dull, non-shiny, paper side. The shiny side has the plastic film, and that is the side you will iron onto your fabric. With fusible web, you print on the smooth paper side, and the bumpy side gets ironed onto your fabric. The bumps are the glue. (You can hand trace your design onto freezer paper and fusible web if you only have a laser printer.) Hope this helps! 🌷

@@susanmei9980 Thank you much. I actually printed on regular paper, pinned every beginning and the end points of all lines through that paper AND the freezer paper, and then draw the lines on freezer paper with a ruler from point to point. I was curious about printing directly on freezer paper. I pick designs with straight lines only for this kind of projects. Thank you again. 🍀

Fast and fun!🎉

Me too Pam!✅

LOL I know! Right!!!!🎊

Wow, thank you! Keep in mind though that this is not the "traditional way" to paper piece....this is my way LOL😂

You're a genius, Tracy!!!🤯 Bless you for this demo!!! I've bought the papers before, but it just as such an overwhelming pain! Thank you for this! I'm going to try it very soon!

Yay! You're welcome Terri....do some easy blocks first until you get the hang of it...it's totally different than the traditional way✅

Yes experiment for sure. Having the foot part way on paper while sewing may have helped keep things together 🤷🏻‍♀️try and let me know✅

Awesome Polly....so happy you started the cathedral window...just remember it's a marathon quilt ...relax and enjoy💛

I started my Cathedral Window many months ago. Mine will be white and squares are all blue. I did not sew my four corners together and it worked out good. I used my stiletto to hold it still if needed, I knew I would never make it if I had to sew all squares together by hand. To avoid having to deal with whole quilt through the whole process I’ve made mine with 3x8 squares. When I get ready to put the whole quilt together I’m going to start in the middle putting the strips together and filling in blue colored squares as needed. To finish all the edge pieces I’m going to save all the edge strips and fold edges just without the colored squares. Then I will attach them to the quilt filling in colored squares. This is a king size bedspread. I have 5 - 3x8 strips to go. I will never make another one. I will have to say Tracy’s looks so much better than mine but no one will notice looking at it on the bed. Good Luck

Cynthia I bet it looks amazing! Way to go!🎊🎉🎊
