Come and learn how to master English paper piecing three different ways!

In the first year of our Academy we produced three Masterclasses for our 'extra' month on Appliqué, Quilting and Binding. These proved so popular (and are still available to buy form our store!) that we thought we would include three more essential skill sets to add to your quilting armoury.

We have each selected our favourite approaches for these new subjects, and we complete our Masterclass journey with EPP. This technique is a starting point for many patchworkers but offers many creative opportunities beyond hexagons. Each tutor will share their wisdom, along with their favourite tips and tricks.

Classic English Paper Piecing

with Lynne Goldsworthy

Lynne will be taking you step-by-step through the mindful process of English Paper Piecing, using the classic, traditional methods.  If you're new to EPP, this is a great starter class and, if you've done some EPP in the past, this will serve as a useful reminder of the slow stitching practice of sewing together pieces of fabric wrapped around paper templates!

Curved EPP

with Karen Lewis

Karen will be taking you through the steps of piecing together curved shapes with her flat back method. Once you have mastered this you will be able to English paper piece any curved shape and the world will be your oyster!

Improv EPP

with Jo Avery

Using improv for EPP means you can draw up any kind of design, even a doodle, and create it in fabric no matter how complex and intricate it appears. Join Jo for some spontaneous and creative slow stitching with a wealth of EPP tips thrown in.
