Quilting Bible for Beginner's: English Paper Piecing
Sharon Burgess shares her love of English Paper Piecing and fussy cutting in a practical, friendly guide. The book starts with the basics—paper shapes, layout, and basting—and progresses to more intricate blocks and color play. Readers learn efficient cutting strategies, fabric selection tips, and tools that make EPP approachable rather than intimidating. With Burgess’s warm tone and stepwise approach, even beginners can enjoy the rhythmic, satisfying process of assembling precise, quilt-ready designs by hand or with minimal equipment.

The book emphasizes learning by doing, guiding readers through essential techniques, pattern reading, and practical project ideas that build a wearable wardrobe.

It’s an ideal starter for anyone who wants to sew their own clothes without being overwhelmed by theory.
Stretch!
Stretch! demystifies sewing with knit fabrics so you can craft comfortable, stylish garments on a regular sewing machine.
