Picture Piecing Techniques Part 1 & 2
Enjoy our YouTube videos where Cynthia shares the techniques involved in sewing a Picture Piecing pattern as well as a few tips for success.
Cynthia takes you step by step through selecting fabrics, preparing the pattern, cutting and ironing the pattern pieces and stitching the pieces together. These videos allow you to get a close-up view of the very popular (and informative) demonstrations that Cynthia offers in her booth at quilt shows.
To fit the YouTube format we've divided the demonstration into two videos, Picture Piecing Techniques Part 1 and Picture Piecing Techniques Part 2. Please feel free to use the YouTube features to share them with your quilting friends.
In the videos Cynthia demonstrates creating the Ice Cream Cone block - a free pattern available on our Free Patterns page, so you might want to download that free pattern and try it yourself.
