I know how to paper piece but haven't done it for years.... I tore my hair out, cursed a bit and ripped (unsewed)a bit,I think we all did, except for those who do it all the time. but here is one tip that I learned years ago........... First, fold and CREASE every sewing line twice, forwards and backwards, exactly on all the lines before you sew anything. Makes removing paper MUCH easier!. Another tip (but take with with a grain of salt) is to shorten your stitch length. The downfall of shortening stitch length is, if you need to "unsew", it's harder because stitches are tinier. Great job!Cyndi loves to stitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14293233664848705485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8039618084602059826.post-28401188607639770122012-08-20T08:12:59.547-07:002012-08-20T08:12:59.547-07:00Marilyn, you did good, you made your bowl and 1 bo...Marilyn, you did good, you made your bowl and 1 bowl is better than no bowl. I said some choice words before I finally finished mine. I worked on it for 6 hours and it still wasn't finished...went to bed at 2 a.m. and I finally got my 1 bowl finished, made the message board and then crazy me tried another bowl. It did go together faster. It is a good thing to step out of your box and try new techniques.

Applique is not difficult, unless you're talking about hand done,needle turn which is much more time consuming and can be complicated.
