About this event

Let's Sew with Abakhan!

Welcome to the world of Foundation Paper Piecing (FPP)!

Unlike English Paper Piecing, which is done by hand, FPP is all done by machine - no templates needed! This method allows you to sew even the smallest pieces with precision, ensuring every piece fits together perfectly, quickly, and easily. Do you struggle to keep your points sharp and accurate? Are you frustrated because your patchwork skills aren’t improving? Then FPP might be the technique for you. If you've found traditional quilt making tedious with all the cutting of squares and triangles that never seem to line up perfectly, Foundation Paper Piecing offers a refreshing change.

You will make a small mini-quilt/wall hanging
