English Paper Piecing CANCELLED Half Day Class 8:00-12:00, Taught by Sue Young Level: All English Paper Piecing (EPP) is a quilting technique used in England during the 18th and 19th centuries, in which you wrap fabric around a paper shape and then hand sew the pieces together into a design. It has undergone a revival in the 21st century, with APQ magazine and McCall’s Quilting publishing several patterns and articles in the summer of 2018. The basic concept of EPP is that it requires paper, fabric, thread, needles, and patience. The designs can be simple, or complex, and today’s EPP projects sometimes use wild fabrics and colors (think Tula Pink). This class will introduce the basics about the papers used for EPP, the templates used to cut the fabric and aspects of fussy cutting, needle types that work best, threads used, basting fabric to paper versus using fabric glue, and other helpful tools to use. I will have reference books with some of the more complex patterns available today for students to view. We will make a flower-shaped mug rug to demonstrate the basic techniques of EPP. This class is for all levels of quilters -- from beginner to more experienced -- for anyone who wishes to learn EPP. I hope the students will be able to take home a completed mug rug by the end of class.
