Sew Easy · English paper piecing
Try a five-sided shape in your next project.
Add another shape to your English paper piecing collection with Sew Easy pentagon paper pieces. The pre-cut templates help you prepare matching fabric units for the five-sided motifs in your selected pattern.
Ready to baste
Pre-cut pieces save the step of tracing and cutting each paper. Use the outline to keep matching fabric units consistent.
Five-sided motifs and rosettes
Pentagons are useful in particular geometric designs, often combined with other shapes. Follow a tested layout to check which edges and angles belong together.
A portable handwork project
Prepare a few pieces at home, then take a small selection, needle and thread with you for short stitching sessions.

Get the most from it
- Match the pack’s stated size and shape to your pattern before cutting fabric.
- Cut fabric with the allowance specified by your pattern. Baste it around the paper using your preferred thread or suitable fabric-basting glue.
- Join the prepared pieces using the pattern’s hand-piecing or appliqué method. Check placement and seam joins as you work.
- Remove papers once the surrounding seams or appliqué stitching have secured the shape. Keep intact papers flat if you wish to use them again.
Good to know
Does one pack contain a mixture of sizes?
No. Each pack contains 100 papers in the selected size. If a size selector is shown, choose the size your pattern requires.
Are these iron-on shapes or printable foundation sheets?
No. These are pre-cut papers for preparing fabric pieces. They do not bond to the fabric, and they are not sheets intended for printing foundation-piecing patterns.
Do I add a seam allowance to the fabric?
Yes—cut the fabric with the allowance required by your pattern. The stated paper size is the template size, not a ready-cut fabric piece.
Can the papers be used again?
You may be able to reuse carefully removed papers that remain flat and keep their original shape. Replace torn, distorted or heavily creased pieces.
