Painless Paper Piecing: Carrefour Class Supplies
Learn exciting new paper-piecing techniques from Marjorie Rhine’s book, Painless Paper-Piecing. In this one session class you will learn how to:
Ø quickly precut fabric patches with less waste
Ø position patches accurately before sewing - less ripping
Ø reuse your paper pattern - no paper to tear out
Don’t worry if you haven’t paper-pieced before, you can learn to paper-piece the Painless way.
You have the option of working on a 12 block tablerunner or a 48 block throw. This quilt pattern is a great way to use up some of your previous project leftovers. Some precutting before class is required (see below)! See additional pictures in the book, or at http://www.PainlessPaperPiecing.com.
