I want to start foundation piecing, because there is a lovely kit by Jinny Beyer (my favourite after Eleanor!) that I want to make. However, I cannot understand it, and I do not find that the instructions in her kits are simple. The thing I love about Eleanor's books and instructions is that even I can get them. I have been shown foundation piecing countless times, but it makes no sense to me. Does anyone please have a site where it is easy to learn, or can someone explain it so a total fool with no spatial awareness can learn it, i.e. me?
Thank you from rainy but beautiful Somerset UK,
Susannon

Re: Foundation Piecing
The best book on foundation piecing (not paper piecing) is by Anita Murphy titled "Reversible Quilts". Her instructions are crystal clear and I was a total beginner and did her quilt in a week.

Inka, when you post links, you need to remove the "http/" in front of it so it will post.

Re: Foundation Piecing
Susannon - I love Jenny Beyer'a quilt's too. I'd love to tackle one someday but I will NOT hand piece mine. I assume the cutting and piecing would be the same. She does beautiful stuff!!!
