The Quilter's Paper-Piecing Workbook: Paper Piece with Confidence to Create 18 Gorgeous Quilted Projects

The book has written instructions as well as a DVD in the back. Simple to extreme. Plenty of neat patterns, from the simple to more complex, and tips along the way.

I love the visuals in the book, and the explanation of her method of paper piecing. The person who gave it a three star review seems to be annoyed that Elizabeth doesn't use the same method as the reviewer. That makes no sense. It's good to have many different ways to do things. I'm very happy I bought this book.

I like all quilting books. So it makes it a little hard for me to judge each one of them. I think I have about 20. Some belonged to my mother and I looked at those books for 20 years. Now that she has passed and I can’t just go through the books and say make this one for me or mom made this one for me has given them a lot more meaning. She has made several that is in this book although she didn’t own this book. I purchased this book because it had a lot of my quilts in it.

Finally! I now understand the difference between foundation paper piecing and English paper piecing. I like the clear photos and how-to's. I am pleased that the project designs are geometric--difficult designs made easier.

Very useful for beginers in paper piecing, like me.

I'm not a complete novice at paper piecing and I had hoped that this workbook would teach me new techniques and provide inspiring patterns but that didn't happen. I found the patterns lackluster and was irritated when working (reading) through the processes and the illustrations for some of the steps were on another page which forced me to flip back and forth between pages. (Shame on the publisher!) In the Tools and Techniques section, I did like the fact that Elizabeth suggested using copy paper to print foundation papers because for beginners just getting started, that eliminates needing specialized paper. However, from trial and error, I prefer newspaper print because it is inexpensive, easy to remove after being stitched on, is flexible because it is thin, and clings to the fabric a bit because it doesn't have a smooth, slippery finish like most copy paper does. I was disappointed that she didn't even mention pressing open the newly sewn fabric piece and then folding the foundation on the next to be sewn line and trimming the last fabric using an add-a-quarter inch ruler and rotary cutter. For me, this tool helps add to the ease of lining up the next piece of fabric to sew. Instead, she recommends just trimming the sewn seam allowance with scissors and doesn't address trimming for the next fabric addition. I know everyone has their own preferred tools and methods for doing things but I'm not willing to do the piecing as Elisabeth instructs because "been there, done that" and I found that I struggled to get the next fabric pieces lined up and sewn on correctly. Elizabeth comments that you should just get used to sewing and then use a seam ripper to remove the mis-sewn piece and try again until you get it right. No thanks! The book comes with a CD that includes printable foundation papers for 18 projects. Like I said earlier, the projects in this book didn't inspire me so I didn't even pop the CD into my computer. Personally, looking at the book from a positive point of view... at least it didn't add another project to my quilting bucket list. (Although I wish it had because I love paper piecing.)

Loved this book! The pictures were absolutely gorgeous and the directions were very clear and easy to follow. I hope to make almost everything in here eventually,

Happy with this book and the patterns in it, plus how things are explained.

Well written, easy to follow

I loved Elizabeth's Craftsy class on paper piecing and her blog is one of my favourites. This book is exactly what I'd hoped for; clear instructions, casual, approachable, encouraging style, and great patterns. So happy with this purchase.

Straightforward directions and beautiful designs. I've never paper-pieced before and am very hopeful that this book will provide me with all the instructions I need.
