Mastering Fussy Cut Jewels in EPP and Appliqué

Join me for a fun and informative class where you'll learn to fussy cut, glue baste using Eppiflex templates, and stitch English Paper Piecing (EPP) jewels to create a beautiful fussy cut heart.

While sewing, we’ll dive into the maths of a jewel, explore different ways to arrange them, and discuss techniques for handling the seam allowance tails when appliquéing. You’ll leave with the skills to complete your project at home, assembling your stylish zipper purse—no need to worry about zippers, as it’s already pre-inserted!

Perfect for EPP enthusiasts looking to enhance their fussy cutting and appliqué techniques.
