I'm doing some English Paper piecing, for a pattern similar to this one here:
So far, I have been sewing together each section (of 6 half-hexes in three different colours). Then last night I decided I had better try to sew together some of the sections.
My "paper" is cereal box cardboard - in order to connect two sections, I had to bend one piece of card for the second seam. And the whole thing seems a bit unwieldy.
Now, I don't mind about very bent cardboard - I don't know that I will ever do this pattern again, although I will keep the unbent templates for a while at least. But is it supposed to feel like a battle of wills between me and cardboard backed fabric?
Other than that I like this for a project, it goes really easily and is portable, so it can come to Summercamp with me :-)
