✨5 Tips for Perfect Foundation Paper Piecing ✨

✨5 Tips for Perfect Foundation Paper Piecing ✨I'm currently working on a series of house quilt blocks, and there's something truly special about creating homes with fabric, don't you think? Here are my top tips to elevate your Foundation Paper Piecing (FPP) blocks and make them shine:1. Press Seams as you go: This keeps the block flat and ensures precise piecing.2. Shorten your stitch length: This helps maintain the blocks shape and makes removing the paper easier.3. Pre-cut fabric pieces larger than needed: This ensures full coverage and easier alignment.4. Trim excess fabric after each seam to reduce bulk and provide a neat result.5. Use a lightbox or window for accurate placement. It helps you see the lines and position fabric correctly.What are your top tips? Please share in the comments below so everyone can benefit.Pattern details: Charming Cottage Foundation Paper Pieced Quilt Block in 5 Sizes (available in our Pattern Store and Etsy Shop).

Fussy cutting method revealed! No need for expensive rulers.✨️ Use a ruler that is larger than the area you are fussy cutting. Use washi tape, masking tape or painters tape to mark out the area you want to cut.✨️ Position the marked window over the area you are going to cut. Cut around two outside edges. Rotate the fabric and flip your ruler to cut the remaining sides.✨️ Use a rotating mat if you have one.✨️ Starch the fabric well before cutting.What are your top tips for a perfect fussy cut?What more tips?
