EPP vs FPP: The Showdown by Tina Craig 03/18/27

English Paper Piecing or Foundation Paper Piecing? What’s the difference? What are the pros and cons of each technique? Which technique is your favorite?

We will try to answer these questions as Tina shares dozens of quilts. One quilt from each technique will battle head-to-head and you will vote for your favorites in each round. At the end, we will tally up the votes and declare a winner!

Tina Craig enrolled in a beginner sampler quilt class at a Connecticut quilt shop in 1990 and was instantly hooked. Before that first Christmas wall hanging was completed, she already had several other projects started! She encourages her students to try new techniques, as those new skills can open up a world of possibilities. Her favorite classes to teach are English Paper Piecing and Domestic Machine Quilting. Tina was featured in Quiltfolk magazine issue 25, Rhode Island. Watch her demos on TheQuiltShow.com episode 3705 and listen to her conversation with Brandy Maslowski on the Quilter on Fire podcast episode 259. When not in her sewing room, she and her husband enjoy bird watching and traveling to visit their children and grandsons. Tina’s website is https://seaside-stitches.com/
