Retailer Opportunities
 
Offer a one-session FPP sampler class: Invite participants to choose their favorite pattern from the Striped Hexi’s, Equilateral Gone Awry, and Nuts About You series. Each quilter makes a block from their chosen pattern using the same foundation paper piecing fundamentals. The class ends with a fun show-and-tell, as participants compare their finished blocks and discover how the same technique and simple triangles create such different designs.
Reinforce skills through repetition: Each Nuts About You hexagon is made from six foundation paper pieced triangles. Students repeat the same construction steps six times before moving on, helping reinforce the method and build confidence through practice.
Make class time efficient: The repeated triangle construction lends itself to chain piecing, helping students work efficiently while practicing consistent techniques.
Build an FPP learning series: For shops that want to offer more, pair Nuts About You with Striped Hexi’s and Equilateral Gone Awry as a series of classes that helps quilters develop and expand their foundation paper piecing skills. Striped Hexi’s is a great starting point for quilters who are new to FPP.
