Great instructional video- very easy to follow. Is this boat pattern available?

Loved the video, it was very helpful thank you
-
very nicely done. I searched all the videos for a instructional one that would show exactly how the pieces are placed & you explained it so very well. For me starting or "the beginning" is the difficult part, but I got that now. I was using the tsp method; trim, sew & press as Carol Doaks suggest, yet I could not recall how to start it off.

What a totally wonderful tutorial. Thank you so much. If I can't stand and cut because I have MS I can sit down and do this. You have made my day - heck you have made my year.

When you place your fabric where you want it and then turn it over to sew along the drawn line, how do you ensure the fabric doesn't move underneath your paper.
I've watched a couple other videos and they both treat it the same as you do Leah - but I'd imagine the fabric may slip a little and end up in the wrong place. Do you have any tips?

@mal1067ry - I really can't claim to be an expert on paper piecing as it is definitely not my main focus, but if you pin the fabric from the front carefully, then it should stay in place well enough to stitch the seam from the other side. This would be a good project to use those long, flat flower head pins that will rest flat to the bottom side as it goes through the machine. Also make sure to use scraps that are more than big enough for the space, then a little slippage won't matter so much!

That's a really good idea!
The only thing that might be difficult about using water soluble stabilizer instead is that it's expensive. If you were doing a big quilt, that would be a lot of stabilizer!
But you're right, it would completely elliminate the issue with tearing away the paper.
