Paper Piecing question

I have a couple of paper piecing books and somehow I just don't get it. Does anyone know of a video that explains how to paper piece? It seems it is more difficult for me than most so it will need to be a beginner's tutorial.

Thank you, Jo Ann

Carol Doak has a DVD. She starts from the beginning and explains every step while she is paper piecing. It's the best visual on paper piecing I've found.

Try this video - it's one of the better ones I've seen. It's in multiple parts, so more links.

I too finally got it when I saw Carol Doak. Her books are great because you get a cd with all of the patterns and you can size them the way you want

I love paper/foundation piecing. I have a book and following the directions is easy. It really is! You will get it. Start with a small simple block. Look on eBay or Amazon for a beginers book.
I heard about Carol Doak but do not have her books or DVD's. I recently took a short class at the Sewing Expo and the method was a little different than what I do. It is a fun way to make blocks. You will enjoy it!
Thanks Rick for the links. Good idea! I'm sure that will help her.
