    Paper Piecing:

    There are several methods to paper piecing:
    Paper - hence the name
    Vellum - David Siroto's "no more tears" method that he taught during a guild workshop (via Zoom) a few years back
    Freezer Paper - similar to using vellum, except you use freezer paper and press it to the fabric as you go.  The final video link below is Bethanne Nemesh demonstrating how to use freezer paper.

    Here are some videos that may be helpful to review prior to the Foundation Paper Piecing class.

    ​There are as many ways to accomplish paper piecing as there are instructors, or in our case, mentors, but hopefully these videos will help build a foundation (see what I did there?) for the classroom instruction.
