Foundation Paper Piecing is oh-so-rewarding when you see what awesome shapes you can achieve, one piece at at time. It takes a bit of practice the first time you have a go but the Love Patchwork and Quilting team is full of converts to this addictive technique. First time FPP’ing? We’ve put together this tutorial to show you how it’s done…

There’s nothing more pleasing than a perfectly neat, flawlessly fussy cut block – and that’s a fact. We’ve teamed up with Daylight Company to teach you how to Foundation Paper Piece using a light box and freezer paper, for satisfyingly fault-free blocks each and every time.

This essential patchwork technique has caught the imagination of quilters the world over – and yes, it looks super fancy, but it’s easy and oh-so-therapeutic with a few tricks courtesy of our super-star Technical Editor Sarah Griffiths!

We all have moments when our patchwork goes astray. Don’t we? No matter how many years we’ve been quilting. We’ve asked quilting pros to share their worst quilting mistakes – to help you avoid the pain of post-midnight unpicking sessions!
