I do not sew. I have made a couple easy things in the past on my sewing machine until I messed up the settings or bent the needle, This technique intrigues me, and actually seems like something that I might continue and never get bored with.

Thanks so much, it was an excellent explanation of every step, with close up videos when needed. I feel confident to give English Paper Piercing ago. I hope to find more videos by Liza Lucy who I thought to be a fantastic teacher.

The teacher was excellent. She explained things very simply and clearly, and gave many options for different styles of basting and sewing. I’m interested in piecing other shapes besides hexagons, and I learned I can apply this knowledge to other shapes. Thank you!
