Jackie Berdych replied to Susan Mankus's discussion about Carol Doak patterns in the group Miniature quilts"Another person explained it as well. It makes perfect sense to me know and I love the idea of not having to pull out paper. "
Kris Pierce left a comment for Jackie Berdych"Here is my shot at explaining freezer paper piecing vs regular paper piecing.
When you add the next piece using FP you do everything the same, except you sew right next to the folded back paper instead of opening the paper and sewing on the line.…"
Jackie Berdych replied to Susan Mankus's discussion about Carol Doak patterns in the group Miniature quilts"I am not picturing this technique in my head. Do you print out individuals pieces instead of the entire block/section that is pieced? How is that paper piecing? I like the idea of freezer paper as it stabilizes the fabric, but I…"
Jackie Berdych commented on Sharon Britt's group Miniature quilts"I have used regular printing paper and Carol Doak's paper. I have had great success with both, though Carol's is a tad easier. If you shorten your stitch length then the paper should remove easily. I haven't tried freezer paper.
I…"
Jackie Berdych commented on Sharon Britt's group Miniature quilts"You have some awesome quilts.
I haven't started a blog yet, as I have one outside of this site. I'll get the hang of it I am sure.
How is this group different from the Minitures, doll quilts, small quilts Group? "

Jackie Berdych commented on Sharon Britt's group Miniature quilts"I currently live in Kansas City, MO. I am posting my most recent miniature quilt. - a card "quilt" size is 3x4"
Jackie Berdych commented on Sharon Britt's group Miniature quilts"I have never used her patterns but I do have her paper, which is very helpful to use as it tears easily and it will go through your printer. I first learned how to paper piece with a kit. A project I am working on now, I used EQ7 to design my quilt…"
Jackie Berdych commented on Sharon Britt's group Miniature quilts"I am not sure what size constitutes a miniature, but I would guess anything smaller than 24x 24. What does everyone else think?
Danielle, I am impressed that you didn't paper piece. The smaller quilts that I have made with many many…"

Here is my shot at explaining freezer paper piecing vs regular paper piecing.
When you add the next piece using FP you do everything the same, except you sew right next to the folded back paper instead of opening the paper and sewing on the line. Then you open the fabric and the paper and press the fabric to the paper, fold on the next line and trim, line up the next piece and sew and repeat. When you are done with the block or section you just peel off the FP and on to the next. I usually make 2 or 3 copies of the 'block/section' and do each piece at the same time. Hope this helps???
