English Paper Piecing—Without the Paper Cuts!

Becky Campbell, the creative mind behind Sewforever Quilting, brings her signature flair for simplifying techniques to this innovative, machine-sewn approach to English Paper Piecing. If you've admired the beauty of EPP but been daunted by whip-stitching or the slow, fussy process of traditional methods, this class is your new favorite shortcut. With her exclusive product—English Paper Piecing Made Easy self-stick templates—Becky makes it possible to stitch EPP motifs quickly and accurately on your sewing machine. And if hand sewing is more your style, this method works beautifully with that too!

Throughout this course, Becky demonstrates how to construct EPP designs using a straight-stitch sewing machine and her reusable templates—no basting, no glue, no pulling papers. But where this course really shines is Becky's deep dive into strategic fabric cutting. You'll learn how to fussy cut, pattern match, and maximize prints for stunning, kaleidoscopic effects in your blocks. Discover how to use scraps, precuts, or yardage with precision and purpose. And as a bonus, enjoy a behind-the-scenes tour of Becky's sewing studio, packed with creative setup ideas and inspiration.

NOTE: This course is designed to be used with Becky's pre-made self-stick templates, which can be purchased from her website. It does not include instructions for creating your own templates.
