English Paper Piecing – Florence Knapp

English Paper Piecing – Florence Knapp

I have had this book for a long time, but I have only just read it (because of my new passion for EPP).

It is a beautiful book, her various projects are inspiring.

There is a chapter on the history of English Paper Piecing, little biographies of various artists, a section on supplies and how to do it, a section on fussy cutting, different rosettes (e.g. Holmwood rosette) and a quilt pattern.

I have read it from start to finish, and highly recommend it.

English Paper Piecing

I was exploring the different things I could do with my Cricut machine and I thought I could use it to cut both the paper templates and the fabric for English Paper Piecing.

I used the offset feature to add a 5mm seam allowance to the fabric hexagons. It works well, very accurate paper and fabric shapes. It would work for applique as well.

My plan is to make fabric using the hexies and then add stitching (embroidery) to them.
