Paper Piecing
HOW I T WOR K S
Paper piecing uses regular appliqué in
addition to folded fabric. Each folded fabric
piece gives the appliqué elements added
multi-dimensional interest and appeal. The
geometric shapes seem random, until you
use a matching thread for the final satin
stitch, thus tying together the entire object.

T I P : Keep the colors tonal
for the appliqué element so
that each element looks like
one object. Using different
colors will make it more difficult
to match the satin thread.
