"First Stitches - Corliss 1870, Introduction to English Paper Piecing Tutorial"

This tutorial will take you through the steps to construct an English Paper Pieced Hexagon Flower using my favorite materials and methods. If this is your first time trying English Paper Piecing be kind to yourself. The tutorial is designed to make you a success. There are two sets in the kits so you can practice and see your progress from the first flower to the second. All kit fabrics are a "grab bag" of 19th century reproductions and rarely repeat. This technique is a gateway to a whole range of fun and beautiful hand-piecing!!!
