English Paper Piecing Secrets to Success with Dawn. Tips and tricks to getting started.

[@annetteharris7939]

Sue and Peter you both are so funny, Thankyou for all the fun. Love EPP.xxx❤

[@susanivey8853]

Thank you for your tutorial. The sew-tight magnets are a game changer- no more death grip needed by my poor hands! Plus the tip on using the magnifying lamp. And using a milliner’s needle; the needle entering the fabric at 90 degrees; and permission to make my stitches a bit further apart! Wonderful practical advice!

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Your welcome!

[@bettyr2319]

Dawn and Peter another fun informative video. I watch for y’all to release a new video. Love you two. Peter do not change the red thread it adds so much to the piece. I will be adding that touch to my pieces. Have a blessed day everyone!

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Thanks so much

[@jackieculver8251]

Enjoy your demos. I believe we painted together way back when! Love watching you.

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Oh thank you!

[@mrslincoln5118]

Dawn…fabulous tutorial. Would you consider doing a tutorial on how to attach the diamond shape to the hexagons please!?!

[@mrslincoln5118]

Dawn…can you please give me the name of the magnifying light you used in this video. It’s just what I’ve been looking for after a recent diagnosis of macular degeneration. I’m not ready to give my sewing up yet. Does your store carry this light? Do you ship? I’m in NY state…all the way north on the Canadian border. thank You in advance for your reply.

[@chocchip21me62]

I'm new to EPP and after watch I don't know how many videos where I get just bits n pieces of how to start and end etc but you have explained it very thoroughly and now I can oder my papers. Thank you and I am subscribed.

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

We are thrilled to have you as a subscriber!

[@ShirleyDeeDesigns]

I like to put my broken pins and needles in an M&M tube with a flip top lid. I love the fun banter with the camera 🎥 (video) man!

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

That's a great tip!

[@sherylwright9584]

Oh Dawn, I'm glad to see you teaching again . I have my coffee and am ready..❤

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Enjoy!

[@Coastalanne54]

You make it so clear , I have been unsure about how to do the stitches and gluing. Time to give it a try!

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Thank you!

[@robinbunis6792]

Great tutorial. Going to order the starter kit. Can't wait for the bowls!

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@sandybruce9092]

The center is a pentagon - 5 sides. A hexagon has 6 sides! The side of a hexie measures half the point to point through the center - 1” side is 2” from point to point! And so on! I’ve been working on a 3/4” hexie project for years😁😁😁. And thanks for the hint about the 80wt - it’s more difficult to find where I live but I do have a shop about 50 miles away that does have it.

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Thanks for the info!

[@louisemaher2688]

First time watching your videos. Really enjoyed you two. Subscribed and will continue watching. Thank you.

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

We’re so glad you enjoyed it!

[@quiltsick]

I just discovered your channel, what fun! I want to watch all of your videos. I started a Lucy Boston quilt years ago & got exactly 2 flowers made. I did not have the wonderful magnifying light back then that I do now. You make me want to make another one! Also the town I live in had a quilt shop when I moved here called Always in Stitches. I loved going there & was sad when the owner retired.

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Glad you found us!

[@phoenix-Trx]

Thank you for this video. I use my needle minders as well to hold hexi’s in place.

[@sewhapi2347]

Good morning !!! Wow, what a wonderful surprise . I'm in the sewing room watching yall on the big screen. I love hexi's ❤️

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Good morning! What a great place to be!

[@sewhapi2347]

Love the closeup with your camera awesomeness

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

I was trying.

[@anameforeveryone2]

I'm new to epp and you guys were so helpful! Thank you for the information!❤

[@debbieflaugh4332]

I enjoy English paper piecing. Those new patterns look like fun. Can’t wait to see you make your bowls. I’ll have to maybe get the pattern and make one with you guys.

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

you totally have to

[@jeannettebenner6990]

That was a great lesson. I needed to make sure I was doing it right. I really enjoy paper piecing. It's a great project for the winter. Thank you.

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Glad it was helpful!

[@scottydog6539]

Hi Dawn. So glad to see you. Hi Peter. 😊 I love straw needles too.

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Hello!!

[@wendychandler2244]

Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing.

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Glad it was helpful!

[@annebettencourt9587]

I’ll be watching for your bowl tutorial. Thank you for sharing this. I’m still in the rookie’ stage with EPP and loving every stitch! 🧵

[@annebettencourt9587]

Do you have tips for protecting skin? I use a thimble but have dry skin .. my hands, nails and cuticles take a bit of a beating … Help, please!

[@scottydog6539]

Thank you Peter and Dawn. Love you. I love Kim Diehl also

[@pvkroberts4158]

Very well explained. Great and good job. Thank you soooomuch. May God bless you. Watching from Sri Lanka.

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Wow, how cool you are watching in Sri Lanka.

[@WendysWhimsicalStitches]

If I ever want to venture into EPP I know where to go for a tutorial! You make it look easy, Dawn! I did not knot/nod off during the video. 😂 Looking forward to seeing the bowl tutorial with Dawn and Peter!

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

I see what you did right there. Lol

[@louisemaher2688]

Oh my goodness. Just went on your site and found out that you're a home. Go Hoosiers🎉🎉

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

We’re so glad you found our website!

[@terryphelps1379]

Thank you for such wonderful tips and tricks

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Most welcome 😊

[@jacquelineayers3678]

Thank you so much for sharing - I am going to practice this joining method

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

You are so welcome!

[@karentoynton8948]

When I make. My hexies , I just put a light wadding in at that stage, and leave it in , saves making into a full sandwich at the end and I feel makes a better hexies when putting them together , rather than the paper . Just my option to do , I have just made a 7x7 ft wuukt this way , it was very heavy to be honest, the long arm quilter loves it, look forward to seeing the finished quilt when it comes back. It was really to big for me to put through my domestic sewing machine , and I didn’t really want to hand quukt this one .

[@MoniqueAO888]

The mirror-test is a great tool !!!

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

It is so fun!

[@peggymacmichael9788]

What is the brand name of the needles please?

[@annehancock6086]

This is so helpful! I’m not seeing the starter kit online.

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Please email [e-mail] so we can stay in touch when we are finished making up more kits.

[@SewWhittle]

Is there a chart that tells 1) the size of the hex paper and 2) the size fabric that is needed to cover that size?

[@SewWhittle]

Would be nice to get an answer and not just acknowledgment that it was read.

[@karenkrause4384]

Love the video & am excited to see bowl demo.. bought the kit quite awhile ago and just dug it out. Are the paper pieces easy to get out?

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Yes they are!

[@RoseWaddell-jj7oe]

I'm trying to order the EPP kit. I click on the picture of the kit and it goes to the next screen that says EPP kit with no pictures and nothing to show click on to order. What am I doing wrong? Please help 😢

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

please call our orders department to help you with your order!

[@14ctaidagirl]

The bowls would make great ort containers for cross stitchers!

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

That's a great idea Tina!

[@PriviesandPrimsNeedlecrafts]

I saw a lot of those lights at my cross stitch retreat.

[@joyaquilts]

Great video! Joined your channel!

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Thanks for coming! We are so happy to have you here!

[@sharonparson4424]

Where can I order one of the kits for the paper piecing? Would love to learn paper piecing.

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

We have kits on our website. You can also email [e-mail]

[@nilasink3270]

Great video on this topic. How do you remove the paper?

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Just lift up the edge of the fabric and peel the paper out.

[@nilasink3270]

@@alwaysinstitches5388 Sounds simple enough. I have not yet ventured into EPP. :)

[@suelimonteiro9402]

Quero uma lente igual a essa

[@rosalindbranson3803]

The diamond shape is a rhombus.

[@jeniferkaramitsos7059]

Video close ups are to blurred

[@Toad-In-A-Puddle]

The 5 sided piece is a pentagon, not a hexie/hexagon (which has 6 sides)

[@alexandra-zaza-burns]

This is the only video I have watched from you that I didn’t enjoy. So many things stated as fact that are just personal choice. There was nothing wrong with Peters’s stitches. Knicker knot!

[@carriecarter4375]

Video kinda makes me dizzy. In and out.

[@sarahbloom1045]

Lick your finger and the thimble will stay on your finger until you take it off.

[@ChristineJackson-o3w]

The big hexy is not a hexy ,it calls pentagon…hexys have 6 points,pentagon 5🎉😊

[@alwaysinstitches5388]

Thank you!
