England Design Studios by Cynthia England

Cynthia England specializes in a technique called Picture Piecing . Patterns are entirely machine sewn, with only straight seams and no set-in angles to worry about. Templates are cut from pre-printed freezer paper (no tracing), which allows you to remove the pattern piece, reposition it and iron again!

Patterns include:

• Printed Colour Photograph
• Full-sized master pattern
• Full-sized freezer paper templates
• Illustrated instructions

Have fun as you explore a new technique, it's not really as hard as it looks.

It looks like Paper Piecing, but it's not! What's different?

1. No paper to pick out
2. No fabric waste - cut out exactly what you need
3. What you see is what you get!
4. Can reuse the pattern
5. Use a regular stitch length
6. You can "chain stitch" in larger sections
7. You can CHEAT!

If you don't sew it perfectly, don't rip it out! You can either sew closer, or pick the paper pattern up and move it!
