Straight Stripe Strips FPP Templates

Use these Straight Stripe FPP strips to make striking and precise accents for your patchwork quilting!

All of your striped strips will be kept ‘under control’ when using the Foundation Paper Piecing (FPP) method. This means that you can relax a little and enjoy the process of making these stunning strips.

You can be LESS worried about:

  • cutting of lots of really precise rectangles
  • sewing an accurate 1/4″ seam allowance
  • distorting fabrics when pressing
  • keeping your strips straight

Making strips of Straight Stripes using traditional piecing techniques can be somewhat challenging. You have to cut out a lot of accurate rectangles and you have to be ever so precise with your stitching and pressing.

You only have to be out by a small amount for it to make a big difference, which can be incredibly frustrating. This is where the solid lines on the templates come in…they show you exactly where you need to sew. This means you don’t have to spend time worrying about setting up and sewing with an accurate 1/4″ seam allowance.

One of the other great advantages of FPP is that there’s also no need to cut 100% precise rectangles to sew with. You can be a little more ‘rough’ with your measurements or you could even cut freehand rectangles (possibly only an option for the more confident or experienced). You will save so much time!

When making strips of Straight Stripes, FPP really is the method to choose!
