This is my first attempt at paper piecing, but instead of using paper a friend told me to use starched muslim to avoid ripping the paper away and it also gives it an extra layer. Well I tried it and it worked, it was so simple and I couldn't believe when all the blocks matched up, I have a Japanese theme in my lounge room, so it fitted perfectly. Well I'm off to make something else now, can't keep still....Have a great day.

Very nice - and I was wondering about paper piecing this afternoon. I have not tried it, and was wondering just how it would be done. This is really unique.

HA!!!! You are not going to believe this, but the kimono doll was my first foundation piecing project as well! I only did the one kimono doll.We actually used tracing vielene,which does not have to be torn away either. Now, when I design my own, I just photocopy all the pieces and use that. Tears away real easy, and you don't have to spend hours carefully tracing all the lines.

Very nice tabsolom. I also have discovered the accuracy of paper-piecing and have found that a light-weight Vilene works very well instead of paper too. *4U
