There is step-by-step instructions with photos that takes the beginner to more advanced concepts. This is a good book.

I picked up this book used and was disappointed that most of the projects were quite advanced. Since I don't yet have the skills to put together massive pieced projects and didn't like the look of the beginning stuff in this book I'll shelve it until I become more experienced. If you are an advanced paper-piecer there are some lovely projects in this one. If you are a beginner or intermediate piecer I would recommend you purchase a Sew Precises CD. You get the patterns on cd and can print them on your computer. Much simpler than making photocopies form a book.

This was my first book on paper piecing. Therefore, I needed to understand the method of doing this in an easy format. I felt that this was not accomplished in the writing. I also had someone try to interpret the directions and they were also unable to do so. Luckily I found on the internet simple instructions on doing this method and now enjoy it. I don't recommend this book, if you want to learn how to do this for this first time.

This is one of the worst paper piecing books I have ever bought. The finished pieces are unrecognizable and everything blends together to form a blob. She says beginner to expert, strictly a beginner book. Poorly drawn patterns.

carol doak provides the best printed beginning directions for paper piecing. especially her book on miniatures. it is accompanied by an optional package of preprinted foundations. she even explains the cutting guestimates best by giving you all the cutting recipes for the quilts in that book
