Meet Ashley Hough, get a brief overview of what English paper piecing is, see what some of the common pieced shapes are and learn what supplies you will need.
Cut Out Templates
Learn about the paper templates needed for English paper piecing and see how to either get them pre-cut or cut your own.
Hexagons
Ashley shows you how to baste a small hexagon shape using a hand-sewing needle and thread. You will also see how to baste a larger hexagon, again using the hand-sewing method.
Clamshell
Ashley will show how to baste a clamshell shape using a glue pen. Glue pens can be easier to use when working with rounded edges.
Diamonds

Assembly
Now that all of the pieces are basted we are ready to assemble the basted fabric pieces. You will also learn how to remove the paper templates whether they were glued or stitched in place.
