I found that once I had my pieces cut to size the paper piecing only took about 10 minutes per sashing strip.

Well folks, I'm down to an hour per double strip, so I figure I have at least 12 hours of piecing to finish this month's section. Thank goodness I'm retired!!!! I'm hoping that in a few more strips, I'll have this on automatic. I thought I had all the pieces cut then realized I only had half of them cut, but cutting is the easy part. Thank goodness for audiobooks!

Susan, out of curiosity, I timed sewing one of the long strips today: 45 minutes. One thing I did today that I wasn't doing previously was to pre-crease all the fold lines on the paper foundation before I started sewing. It seemed much easier than establishing the fold when there is already fabric sewn to the foundation.

As far as sewing entertainment is concerned, I have figured out how to watch old TV and movies with Netflix on my iPad. With my little featherweight and my compact "entertainment center" I can sew virtually anywhere in my house!

(I've given up on TV, since I can't turn the darn thing on unless my husband is home...too many remotes!

Rita, we are in Atlanta, Georgia and I'm afraid that Alex is going to be disappointed that we didn't get the predicted snow overnight! I'll try to check back in tonight but this is going to be a long day.... Y'all BEHAVE!

at the begning i didnt like paper piecing
but now i gathered some rools that help me a lot
and now i seldom make mistakes on this method

1. i learned from jodi davis i think her name is that the paper is
on the fabrics while the fabrics are right sides together as normal sewing.

2. i use the method of carol doak from the tqs show

3. and from alicia ettic videos (i think it doesnt exist any more the spesific video)
i learn that when you fold the paper (the piece that you need to sew)
it is actually the same shape you need to cut, it is in mirror image of the piece that you need to saw
this is the most important point so you never cut too short
i hope it is clear!!

cheers
thanks margo for the videos they are very very useful!! thanks again
