Have you heard the term “machine paper piecing” or “foundation piecing” and wondered what it is? Have you

patchwork and wondered how to get those results? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, this is the
class for you. Learn how to machine paper piece blocks quickly and easily by working on a simple heart block
to learn the process, and then proceeding to a lovely mariner’s compass.
