English Paper Piecing (EPP), also known as Mosaic Piecing or Mosaic Patchwork, is a method of hand Piecing using paper templates to stabilize the fabric. Historically the technique originated in England in the 1700s and was brought to the United States out of popularity and necessity. Fabric is basted to paper shapes using thread or glue and the pieces are then stitched together, most commonly using a whip stitch. It is a precise method, allowing the quilter to create accurate shapes, whether simple or complex!Though the technique has remained constant, the designs have expanded from patterns constructed from nothing but hexagons to include diamonds, pentagons, stars, squares, and more. The technique has grown from using scrap paper cut by hand to using the precision of machines and technology to produce inexpensive, reusable pieces. *Do I need a sewing machine? No sewing machine is needed! Our favorite part of EPP is the portability. Whether it be in a car, a waiting room, traveling on an airplane, or in the living room, Paper Pieces can accompany you anywhere you go.
