This gave me a lot more confidence In trying to make a hexagon quilt!!!

Hi Jody, thank you so much for this tutorial, this is my first time making a hexagon quilt, I've torn my first two rows apart because I didn't see them in the right way, I found your tutorial and it was great, you have explained it so well, you took the time to show how to do it, I will be watching all your tutorials from now on,😍.

I think using the dots is more efficient than marking the entire seam allowance as some demonstrate. Some rulers have a hole to easily mark the point. Your presentation was excellent.

[@sandybruce9092]

For some of us - me especially, I need that seam line drawn as I have a wonky eye - meaning that I need to concentrate not to change eyes (which I do constantly when I choose or my brain chooses!!). I need this line as I have very little actual depth perception. And perhaps for beginners, a drawn line might help them till they feel comfortable! Efficiency shouldn’t be the only thing when sewing - I sew slower than some people because I need to concentrate all the time. I was born with this wonky eye and I’m almost 77, so I’ve learned how to deal!!!

This is an excellent tutorial. Really well explained - thank you so much. Kind wishes from UK x

[@curtriceennis2924]

Wonderful and useful information. I knew about the "awkward" - ness when you match the seams together down the line, but, I never knew or even thought about how you should only sew the length from "dot to dot" so you can have it fit together correctly. I also didn't know about how you press the seams in opposite directions when you iron them open. TYSM for sharing this video with us. 🥰👍😻

[@allpeoplequilt]

So glad it helped you!

[@judymoore4955]

[@desireetroyack9888]

Thank you! Very short video and very well explained. I loved it!

[@touchingnature]

Superp tutorial, thank you so much!! I was given the link to your video from Rosery Apparel, one of her 10 minute tutorials, she sews so many hexagons together with scrap fabrics and will complete her quilt over time. This is something I too will endeavour to do. Sending best wishes from UK x

[@margaretreid4858]

I am ready to sew my third row can you please show me thank you

[@RingoWild]

Great tutorial. Thanks!

[@lizkimber]

You should try keep warp and weft directions the same. And i swear i can almost do this as quick by hand

[@kittybrowning]

I really love heigon I've bought a bigs die for my big shot to cut them accurately can't wait

[@SuperBettyboop23]

Excellent explanation on how to sew the hexagon thank you so much for your wisdom and teaching me how to do this❣️✂️🧵🪡❤️💗💕💓

[@lindasimmons3167]

Hint if you own more than one sewing machine: use the machine that is easiest to control the hand crank and reverse. A knee lift for added control of pressure foot also helps.

[@AlexandraKimball-rr8xb]

Helpful--but what is the technique for making sure all the dots are correctly placed? (I've got some very tiny hexes! Even if I sew by hand, that precision will help me.)

[@angrygnome44]

That is suddenly a lot less intimidating that I thought it was going to be. Now it's *just* time intensive, lol.

[@patbarnes6376]

Well done tutorial. Thank you.

[@Wanda6308]

Thank you for this easy explanation. I am making a quilted Hexi baby quilt for my new baby granddaughter due next month. I am at a dilemma as to make it a crib size or a little bigger for a twin bed. I made a quilt for my grandson before he was born but forgot what size I made it. Do you advice maybe a 30" x 40" ? I really could use your expert advice. thank you so very much.

[@cdayperry2701]

Very helpful, TY!

[@stephanieguzman]

Excellent video! This is exactly what I needed :)

[@harleybrat55]

So when you add the third row do you go up or down?

[@MomAsol]

Thanks for sharing

[@mamas_quilts3573]

Thank you!

[@mayavp]

Definitely making this!

[@karencrawford6099]

Enjoyed the tip on hexagon stitching by machine. My question has nothing to do with it though. Is there s pattern for the quilt on wall! I love it! Thanks!

[@allpeoplequilt]

Yes, it's a free pattern on our website here: www.allpeoplequilt.com/quilt-patterns/quilt-throws/flirty-florals

[@bainesfamily5309]

How do you add a backing?

[@deborahdosunmu4778]

Thank you 😊

[@Lovealways89]

What are the measurements for the hexagon?

[@lmmartyn8846]

Great work

[@sandywilkerson8525]

Awesome!

[@darleneappleman3911]

Ive got a new janome 840dc macjine

[@djf57]

Love this and My aria

[@allpeoplequilt]

It's such a great machine!

[@jonigarrison4426]

FYI: I don’t think you need to remove the pins as you so. Most machines, at least 4 machines I’ve used through the years, would all sew over a straight pin as long as it’s perpendicular to the foot and the pin is not bent in anyway.

[@mollyislovely]

I mean true but it can cause seam to be uneven.

[@karinabednarek4477]

if the needle hits the pin - its not good. that is why you don't sew over the pins just in case.

[@Vivienwestphal]

You really don't need 3 pins in a tiny piece of fabric like this.... Please just hold your fabric properly while you sew and you won't need pins at all.

[@sandybruce9092]

Personally, I think you should pin exactly at each corner!! No. matter the size of the hexie! A large hexie needs more pins - but then I’m a pinner from way back so….. 😊
