Its inexpensive, especially with a coupon from a certain craft store. I cut them down to 8 ½ x 11 ½ to feed through my printer. Some of the blocks are directional and when you print them from the CD, they make up to turn the "wrong" way (pinwheel blocks). The tracing paper makes it easy to use the backside of the foundation paper. When a block is directional, use the paper foundations with the printed side against the wrong side of your fabric.

I have been tempted with the 30's Farm Wife quilt - but I think I'll wait a bit more. Glad to hear the disk comes with paper/foundation piecing patterns though. <br /><br />Barbara Sindlingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05864004276255587051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-76979783090347917352016-02-15T16:33:17.608-05:002016-02-15T16:33:17.608-05:00I'm following the 1930's Farm Wife blog by...I'm following the 1930's Farm Wife blog by Gnome Angel. Different bloggers work on blocks and post tips. Some on paper piecing, some using Marti Michell templates. They are not taking the blocks in order. Jumping all over the place. I'm just getting started, but they've really helped me.<br />ckruthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17452916527825545895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-71684752050827105332016-02-15T16:31:18.453-05:002016-02-15T16:31:18.453-05:00Love new projects!

I would recommend ½" allowance around your fabric pieces if you are template cutting, especially for anything with a diagonal lines or angles other than 90 degrees - it just gives you more room to playverykerryberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07485169920671733941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-84999139308141693842016-02-14T21:55:59.206-05:002016-02-14T21:55:59.206-05:00Newsprint paper.

For templates you can place them on your rotary ruler with tape (straight line cuts) and cut with your cutter.<br />I think you need to reward yourself for working on which ever project you want to get moving along ....such as your pineapple blocks when you finish a block you get to make a Farmers Wife Block or before you start sewing on anything you sew (? X number of logs) <br />Or when you sew 5 pineapple blocks or do the math border reward with a massage or a trip to the ice cream parlor with the boys....I like sharing rewards with others it can help them help you to get or stay moving.<br />But really after the singing costume and the dress form don't you think it's reasonable to just need to change and refresh a bit .<br />But that doesnt mean you can't issue your self a reward <br />Being Valentine's Day chocolate comes to mind.<br />Colleen in sunny warm California <br />We are scheduled for rain on Wednesday yipeecolleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13979234789965049533noreply@blogger.com
