February 5, 2025 (2pm Mountain Time)
Join Annie for a Foundation Paper Piecing (FPP) Sew Along!
We will share ways to use FPP in ByAnnie projects — as blocks for quilts, as borders for bags, as pockets, and more!
We'll work together on a border sized to fit our handy project bag, Piecekeeper. Annie will share ideas for adapting it for other uses, too.
You'll learn Annie's favorite way to accomplish this precision piecing technique including:
- Folding the pattern before starting
- Trimming using an Add-a-Quarter ruler (https://www.byannie.com/shop/sup141-pink-add-a-quarter-ruler-1919#attr=), and
- Joining sections
You'll need some basic supplies and just a bit of fabric for this project.
