Quilting teacher Peggy Martin shows you an easy and fast way to create paper-pieced quilt blocks and combine them in new ways.

Gone are the days where you puzzle over complicated quilt blocks like Dreamweaver, New York Beauty, Zigzag, Pinwheel or Sailor's Delight. Peggy will have you making the most beautiful and intricate quilts of your life in less time than ever. Her paper piecing method replaces the stress and frustration of your typical paper-pieced quilt patterns.

I have done some paperpiecing in the past!!
Peggy....I am really excited to be taking your paper piecing class!!! I have taken a class years ago with Carol Doak, but am still struggling with putting the pieces of blocks together that have multiple pieces. I am hoping to learn lots and I know I will.
Thanks for having this class,

Ps.This is my very first Craftsy class.
What a great class
I have taken a number of Craftsy classes and this has been one of the best. Peggy explains everything throughly without being boring with loads of hint and tips along the way. Thank you Peggy for a really enjoyable class. I know I will be watching it again and making most of the quilts.
Paper piecing without fear from a superb instructor
Paper piecing seemed very intimidating to me until I discovered this wonderful class. I love Peggy's clear and concise method of teaching - her casual style makes learning a pleasure, not a struggle. Using strips of predetermined widths rather than dealing with tiny little scraps of fabric not only speeds up the process,of piecing, but eliminates the potential for not having enough fabric available to cover a specific area.
So far I've only made Pinwheel Polka blocks, but I look ...

Peggy, I loved your class! I have been so afraid of paper piecing and felt so stupid because it never seemed to make sense to me but you have totally taken the mystery out of this for me. Your teaching style made everything so clear and understandable. I have taken a number of classes on Craftsy and there are wonderful teachers but everything seemed to really click with you. Thank you so much for a wonfderful class.
I Love Craftsy
Peggy Martin is a joy. Her experience, knowledge and ability to teach is wonderful. I have taken many Craftsy classes and have never had a problem with the streaming, voice or finding the class materials. Everything about Craftsy is very clear and concise. I do make sure I have the most current updates to my software and I have never had any problem with the classes and am looking forward to signing up for many more.
Thank you Craftsy,
Barb from Illinois
