I've been piecing with Quilt Patis templates for nearly 4 years now and I've discovered a few tricks that make basting and piecing go a bit faster. Here, I made a video last year:<br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nkCdciXDa8" rel="nofollow">Quilt Patis piecing</a><br /><br />For starters, I hold the fabric in place with 2 paperclips instead of a pin through the center. And to avoid the tricky-ness of your step #22, when you're stitching all the petals around a hex flower center, it's easiest to sew 6 petals on and then <b>pop the center template out</b> so you can fold it and sew up the petal seams. I basically do the same thing in my diamond video. I've found it's easier to sew the seams in a certain order instead of dealing with a tricky seam every so many minutes. This has really sped up my piecing and keeps my flow, you know?<br />I'm just about done with a queen size diamond star top (pics on the blog shortly, or click Travel Quilt #2 in my sidebar) and I've already started my third quilt with QP templates, along with a pillow in hexagons (i needed to see what everyone was so crazy about!). I have given demos to 2 guilds and recommend QP templates to anyone that shows interest in English paper piecing.<br />I totally don't mean to "correct" your technique or your tutorial, but seeing as your blog gets a lot more traffic than mine, I thought I'd pass on what I've learned.<br /><br />Best, <br />Jessica in NYJessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14124055364435672026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274017083888923216.post-40884228665810810322010-08-21T20:03:02.453-07:002010-08-21T20:03:02.453-07:00Just a word of caution, some people add informatio...Just a word of caution, some people add information to their online tree without actually verifying its accuracy, so instead of copying information from other trees you find, you should use that as a hint for where to look next.
