Foundation Paper Piecing

Explore the precise, rewarding art of foundation paper piecing (FPP) with our curated collection of patterns, papers, and supplies at The Quilting Bea, your Massillon, Ohio online quilt shop. Foundation paper piecing is a technique where fabric is sewn onto a printed paper foundation, allowing you to achieve perfectly precise points, intricate curves, and complex geometric shapes that would be nearly impossible to cut and sew freehand. The result: jaw-dropping quilt blocks with pinpoint accuracy.

Our FPP collection includes patterns from top foundation paper piecing designers including Allison Glass's FPP Mini Series, Sassafras Lane Designs, Leila Gardunia Design, Cotton and Joy, and more. We also carry essential FPP supplies including It's Sew Emma and Lori Holt foundation paper pads (Courthouse Steps, Log Cabin, Pineapple, Woven Star, Flying Geese, and more), the Add-A-Quarter Plus ruler set by CM Designs, and lightweight paper pad refills. Whether you're new to FPP or an experienced paper piecer, you'll find everything you need here.
