[@knitntea1672]

This video was great! So simple and easy to follow and easy to understand. And not overly produced and overly chatty! Thank you thank you :-)

Thank you! I love your attitude. " I hand stitch, and I want people to know it" ❤

Hola. Al fin pude entender, a pesar de la diferencia de idioma. Que facil manera de explicar. Que tono tan suave. Me encanto. Gracias. La tecnica de los clips es insuperable. Una pregunta, la plantilla luego la retiras facilmente, verdad????!!!! Nuevamente, GRACIAS. GRACIAS !!!!!😊😊😊

This is so cute! I have quilters clips that I'll try instead of paper clips I think. Happy stitching from another hand stitcher. 💕

thank you sooo much!! this was very helpful. my dogs want an encore from your dog 😂😂 i am saving this vid for future reference. i'm trying to make a mid evil style dress... out of 1.5 in squares... with out lining. so lots of tacking on the back. the scraps are from other cloths that i've made. not sure if it's a good idea and i know it will take years but i am PUMPED!!😁😁

[@lifeunderquilts]

That sounds amazing! keep going and make sure to update me with your progress. There are many methods to tack down the underside and leave it unlined. Maybe I need to make a video about that.

I'm so happy to see that EPP can be shapes other than hexagons.

[@lifeunderquilts]

You can get pretty creative. Try different grids- square, hexagon, diamond. You can even combine shapes. Thanks for the comment.

[@leelasomashekar7132]

Thank you it is helpful in learning this lesson for epp

[@lifeunderquilts]

You're welcome!

Nice work!🧵✂️🪡❤️

[@distaff2935]

EPP isn't just for hexies! This method is so under rated. No marking, and easier to press later. I use a glue stick for the initial "stick," rather than clips, but also prefer to thread baste. A hole punch in the center of the square helps to get the paper out later. Also, with the basting, and an initial press, I've had excellent results removing the paper BEFORE whip-stitching the shapes together. Sometimes sewing a bigger conglomerate with all that paper is a bit of a drag. Excellent video!

Thank you!

Thank you great video😊

[@ColleenU]

❤ love this idea

[@madeleineshaw5772]

Really enjoyed this video but you neglected to mention at what stage do you remove the paper templates? Thank you

[@lifeunderquilts]

Thanks Madeline! You can remove the papers once all sides of a patch are sewn to its neighbors. The papers on the edge stay in until you are ready to layer and baste the project. Thanks for watching!

[@suebean3873]

How do you take the paper out without disturbing the stitches? Very interesting video. I enjoyed watching you.

[@joyaquilts]

Love this!

[@nadinecollet5672]

merci pour ces explications

[@leelasomashekar7132]

But I would like to know after stitching the paper should be removed

[@lifeunderquilts]

After all sides of a shape are sewn, the paper can be removed and reused.

What is the little round thread cutter? I’ve never seen one!

[@lifeunderquilts]

They are from Clover. Pendant thread cutter.

[@gloriawagner9405]

What kind of thimble are you using

[@lifeunderquilts]

It's an open top, adjustable thimble from Clover.
