English Paper Piecing with Scraps!

[@jackiegreen2]

For the 70 years I have been sewing I have never seen a knot done like that. Love it. Thanks for the great video.

[@mamaduck5981]

I have never tried English paper piecing but I do appliqué and enjoy it. You made it look so easy that I now think that I will give it a try. Thank you for sharing.

What a great way to knot when hand sewing. That's new for me. Thanks for sharing.

[@ConnieFERRELL-n6m]

I love viewing your tutorials. Such an inspiration for me.

[@marydalrymple1432]

Jeanette I recently bought papers and a hexagon but it’s a 2” one but I’m going to give it a go. I love the idea of using up the scraps I also have a 1” hexagon but I don’t have the papers for it and it’s small for me. I look forward to using my 2” hexagon pieces in ways you’ve shown on here and other videos thank you so much for the introduction to paper piecing.❤😊

You are so creative, Jeanette! The snowflakes are adorable!!!

[@janehargreaves3867]

Thankyou you have helped me alot what to do with my scraps❤

[@sheilahope7007]

That is a different knot ,great idea. Love your projects ❤

[@annelumsden5775]

I love your snowflakes. I filled my advent calendar with an EPP project for a cushion front. Off to have a look in my stash for hexi templates. Thankyou and best wishes for 2024

[@bridgetwhite5547]

Great. Video thank you Jeanette. I love the snow flakes 😊

[@mariaredpath3900]

Another great video tutorial. I use wonder clips/binding clips to hold my EPP pieces together when joining them and when basting my fabric to the templates. I find that it reduces tension and cramping in my hand.

[@britdowson8324]

Love making hexagons. Love the snowflakes.

[@shanegeis2696]

[@carmenhall9079]

Not a quilter, but when your video came up I watched anyway. Wondering what happens to paper when washed

[@suzannakoizumi8605]

Thank you! Merry Christmas!

[@pebblem4612]

What a great way of using up scraps. Thanks for the inspirations. Merry Christmas 🎄

[@ElizabethWarrenYeahYeah]

Never heard of paper piecing. I'm about to learn how to do this.

[@arlenepiggot3982]

I love doing EPP never done any with scraps ,can't wait to try this 😁✂️

[@elestehorn4290]

Thank you for sharing.

[@ambermyers4256]

Thank you for this lesson. I put my EPP away a few years ago not really knowing what I was doing. Now, I'm able to see the missteps I made and can really work on a project, especially as I have a cutting machine as well to precisely cut papers. Thanks again for the fresh start! 😊

[@angelavorhees5946]

I have attempted EPP, but so far, I haven't been very successful. Watching your tutorials, I may try again someday. You make it seem easier than other videos i have watched. Those snowflakes were super cute. I enjoy watching and listening to you. You are so calming, and I learn something in the process. Your channel has become my favorite for quilting.

[@SewingStudio]

Hello Angela, Thanks so much for the kind words. Means a lot. Hope you've had a good Christmas and have a wonderful new year.

[@hattiedraper1061]

I think I’ve seen those Sew Easy acrylic hex templates in Hobbycraft.

[@gloriamcphail4589]

Another great video. I'm just about to give Epp a try so this was a timely tutorial.

[@beerettinger2262]

I am new to this technique and it was very interesting and very informative.. but u left i part out ...how do u cover the back of u r project when do u take out the paper?

[@SewingStudio]

Hello, Jeanette said she leaves all the papers in until she's ready to use them in the final project. She then snips the tacking thread and take the papers out, either all at once or as she goes if doing appliqué. The piece then gets backed like a normal quilt, with wadding and fabric.

[@theresajukiewicz3092]

Absolutely beautiful

[@chloetenbusch7331]

What size needle do you use?

[@sandeethompson1184]

What do you do with the paper behind the hexagons? If you leave them in, isn’t it crunchy?

[@SewingStudio]

Hello! You take the paper out before you add the wadding + backing.

[@angelaeaves9686]

how and when do you get the paper out?

[@barbklempay8249]

I had a friend give me a small bag of hexies and have been wondering how to do the process. This video was very helpful. But, do you leave the paper pieces in there ? If not, how do you remove them? Thank you for the help...your projects are beautiful. Do you have patterns for them?

[@expatpiskie]

I leave the paper pieces in until the very last minute. It helps to keep the fabric stable. Only once I've finished & I'm ready to start making the sandwich do I take the papers out.

[@barbklempay8249]

@@expatpiskie I think I have a lot to learn on English paper piecing before I start a project. I am still s little confused on how you remove them

[@expatpiskie]

There is a channel on YT called The Last Homely House, Kate does a lot of EPP, including a quilt for her grand-daughter. She has lots of videos for beginners including when & how to take the papers out.

[@barbklempay8249]

@@expatpiskie thank you so much. Is yt a channel outside of the US? What does the initials abbreviated for..Merry Christmas to you Sue

[@barbklempay8249]

Oops. Yt is you tube...lol

[@darlenemitchell4198]

Good video but you talk so darn fast. Is there anyway you can slow down???

Hi Darlene. You can edit the ‘playback speed’ if you’d rather.
