Draw the block.
Piecework does the paper piecing.
Sketch seam lines with your Pencil. Pieces number themselves as you draw. Piecework checks each section's sew order, adds seam allowance, and prepares mirrored, true-size foundations for printing.

From a blank block to a printed foundation
Three steps, one sitting.
From a blank 6 × 6 in block to a printed foundation, without touching a spreadsheet.
Pieces number themselves
Piecework detects pieces and calculates sew order live. If a section is not paper pieceable, it highlights the conflict and suggests a section boundary.
Print true to size
US Letter or A4, mirrored by default, seam allowance included, with a 1-inch calibration square on every sheet.
Made to think with your hands
Sketch freely. Keep every point precise.
Piecework turns Apple Pencil strokes into editable seams. Move a point and the whole block stays connected—no redrawing, no tiny spreadsheet, no wrestling with desktop software.
- Apple Pencil–first drawing with precise snapping
- Exact finished dimensions, rulers, and optional angle snapping
- Move, fill, trace, split, preview, undo, and redo

A pattern you can trust
Know it will sew before you cut.
Piecework validates each section before printing. If a section is not paper pieceable, it highlights the conflict and suggests where to add a section boundary.

“I wish this block existed”
becomes “I’ll make it.”
Good questions
Before you thread the machine.
Is Piecework a subscription?
No. Piecework is a one-time purchase with no accounts and no ads. Your patterns stay on your iPad.
What if my design cannot be paper pieced?
Piecework checks each section's sew order live. If it finds a conflict, it highlights the problem and suggests a section boundary for you to apply.
Can I use a photo as reference?
Drop in a photo, set its opacity, and trace over it. You can also fade your fabric colors over the photo to compare.
Be sewing with it first.
