Foundation Paper Piecing: Made Simple

Foundation Paper Piecing (FPP) has a reputation—it can be a total blast… or it can leave you scratching your head. In this beginner-friendly (and refresher-friendly!) class, Nina will take the mystery out of FPP and walk you through each step so you’ll always know exactly where your next piece of fabric should go.

FPP is the go-to technique for achieving crisp, precise points, unusual shapes, and adorable or intricate designs that are almost impossible to piece with traditional methods. Whether you’ve been curious about trying it for the first time or you’ve attempted it before and felt frustrated, Nina will give you the skills and confidence to make it fun.

You’ll learn how to read and prepare your paper patterns, choose the right fabrics, sew with accuracy, and handle the “big reveal” when you tear away the paper to see your perfect block. Along the way, Nina will share her favorite tips, tricks, and troubleshooting secrets so your FPP projects turn out beautifully every time.

By the end of class, you’ll leave with a completed block, a solid understanding of the technique, and the confidence to tackle everything from precision stars to whimsical characters.
