Great Kit

Love this kit! I’m not a beginner EPPer but I love the items in the kit. It was very easy to follow the pattern. I would highly recommend this kit to not only beginners but novices as well.

Great project

Very good incentive to start me doing EPP - Booklet very clear. Only surprise I had was that no fabric was included - not sure that was made clear - or maybe I missed. Ended up with some purchased at my neighborhood fabric shop.

Travel and Home

I love this kit so much! Not just for beginners and it’s so darn cute I didn’t even get it on sale. Worth every penny. I use it at home and while traveling. It has everything you need and more. I travel quite a bit and I can use it on the plane with a board I made in pic to go with. An idea I got off YouTube. I’m currently using it in my hotel room.

My birthday gift to me!

It's so cute! It had everything I needed to get started with EPP, and it's portable — I can take it with me everywhere. Because it's zippered, everything stays organized, and the carrying strap makes it easy to take with me.

EPP newbie

I NEVER thought I would want to get into English Paper Piecing, however, the more I see, the more I was convinced that there is a perfect place in my crafting life for this. I travel regularly, AND I like to RELAX during my time off. Relaxing usually means I need to be doing something with my hands. I like the slow and steady nature of this craft. The rewards are LARGE. This reminds me of making doll clothes by hand in my young childhood. Keeps my arthritic fingers nimble, as well. This kit...

Love the kit

I am really enjoying the hand piecing. I work at a local fertilizer company and have free time in the summer and winter before harvest and after the fertilizing is done and got this kit to have something for my hands to do while I wasn't busy. I'm not making the pattern included but am working on a grandmother's flower garden quilt pattern. The bag is the right size to carry a few pieces of fabric to cut and stitch a few flowers at a time and the surrounding background hexies. It has everything...

EPP Kit

I have been making English Paper Piecing projects on a design-as-I-go basis for a number of years. I even have three bed-sized tops that need just borders and quilting. My sewing room is full of templates and tools for EPP, BUT when I saw this kit, I just had to buy it. Love Missouri Star's signature colors of the zipper bag. Inside the bag are all the tools one would need to start a project (including a small round cutting mat, but no rotary cutter). The size is just right to bring along on...

Bigger and Better

I was surprised at the size of the kit but let’s be real. Us paper-piecers will have no regrets carrying more supplies with us. The interior pouches make it very easy to separate or downsize when desired. The tools are good quality. I also know that this case will work wonderfully as a cross-stitch/embroidery travel case.
