Hi everyone

[@staceyleecreative]

Hello 🖐 Thank you for joining us!

[@auroramocho118]

Thank you for helping and motivating us to carry on such beautiful art. When you sew teh hexies together, do you pierce the paper or sew just in the milimiter between the paper and the fold of the fabric?

[@marcydiver]

Don't sew through the paper, just right above it. The paper will be removed and you don't want to pull out the stitches. ❤

[@lutsen110]

@@marcydiver, how do you get the paper out since it’s glued to the fabric?

[@staceyleecreative]

It just comes apart, the glue isn't permanent, just enough to hold it in place while sewing.

[@09mclemens]

Thank you for hosting this EPP sewalong. A Grandmother's Flower Garden was my intro to hand stitching many years ago. I've always loved the look, but have never tried a whole project, so I'm looking forward to honing my skills before I try to tackle a Lucy Boston quilt. Is it okay if I do your sewalong using a smaller hexagon size (1")? I have an Accuquilt die I'd like to utilize for the fabric cutting just to streamline things a bit, but if the 1 1/2" size is preferred, I'm happy to do that. Thanks for the overview of the SewTite products and InvisaFil Threads. I've ordered these to try.

[@staceyleecreative]

So happy you want to join us! Yes of course you can use whatever size hexagon you like. I just say 1.5” because I’ve worked out the measurements.

[@09mclemens]

@@staceyleecreative Wonderful. Thanks so much!

[@lutsen110]

I’m a complete beginner with EPP so this will be my first try. I’m a quilter so I’m not new to making quilts but the process and technique is all new to me and I want to learn this! I have very small hands and fingers and I’m having trouble finding a good size small thimble. The ones you suggested on Amazon do not come in sizes so I know they would be too big. I have a small leather thimble and it’s ok but not good for lots of use. Can you or someone please recommend one similar to the clover thimble you listed in the QAL? I’m eager to join you in this!😊

[@staceyleecreative]

I am sorry I really don't know. Some of the clover ones come in different sizes I thought? Thanks so much for your interest in the 🌸 Summer Blooms Sew Along 🌸 Here's the link for more information: www.stacey-lee.com/2024/06/21/summer-blooms-sew-along/

[@ohioreseller6959]

Do you remove the paper pieces once everything is together?

[@staceyleecreative]

You can remove them when each round is surrounded by hexies, or when you are ready to make your quilt with them 😊

[@rosemarysgonzalez3765]

How do you take paper out of hexagon?

[@staceyleecreative]

You just lift the fabric by the edges and the hexagon comes right out. You remove them once the hexagons are surrounded by another round of paper pieces, or when you are ready to make your quilt. We keep them in until then to hold the shape.

[@rosemarysgonzalez3765]

The glue is a basting glue not permanent. I get it. Thank you so much I’m going to try this. I have lots of scrap material. 😊

[@Dasburyfamily]

Thank you Stacey! I’m still working on my 1” EPP of the Grandmothers Flower Garden I started over a year ago when you showed us how to do it them. I’ve got over 1,000 made so far of the 1,600 I need for a throw size. The 1.5” will mean few EPP’s to make. I’m really excited to start this project, especially since I’m retired now and have more time to participate in new things. 🌸🩷🩷🩷🌸
