It's time to take the mystery out of FPP and start sewing all those beautiful patterns you've been stashing for "some day".  

Work through a self-paced video course that will get you started right at the beginning and guide you through step by step until you can paper piece with confidence.

By the end of the course you will have all the knowledge, know how, hints and tips, and the patterns to create a beautiful quilt. Not only are you learning, you have something tangible (and lovely!) to show and admire at the end!

FAQ

This course is designed for people who are new to foundation paper piecing. While it teaches you how to foundation paper piece, general sewing knowledge is assumed. You will need basic sewing and quilting skills such as use of a rotary cutter and mat, quarter inch seam, basic quilt assembly - joining blocks together, basting and binding etc.  It's for foundation piecing beginners, not necessarily quilting beginners:)

Once you have signed up, you'll receive an email with the login details. You will need to log in using your email address and the password that you set up (I know, I know, another password!). But don't worry if you forget the password, it's very easy to reset.  

This is an online course which means you will need internet access to view the videos and download the patterns. You will also need access to a printer to print off the templates for the patterns.

You can access the course for as long as it's available on this platform - which is indefinitely! I plan for it to available here for a good long time. Should I move the course to another platform, you will be notified.  All of the patterns are in PDF format which means you can download and save them to keep forever and ever. 

Short answer, sorry but no. Long answer. It's a firm no. It is one subscription per person. You cannot share your password or login details with anyone else - be it guild member, friend, family member, next door neighbour, or your very clever dog that can sew. The course purchase is for one person only - and that's you!

Sharing a subscription or patterns damages my intellectual property and it takes away from my livelihood. This is my full time business and income, and I work hard to provide quality patterns and resources. I'm grateful to you for respecting that and ensuring you're honouring my intellectual property (and ensuring my chickens (and on the kids!) can still get fed).

If your guild or group is interested in all joining, please do contact me and I would be happy to offer a group discount.

Send me a message and let's chat! Please note that I live in Australia so my time zone may be quite different to yours but I will reply when I can:)
