I really enjoyed your help with Hexagons. I've always done them by hand, that's how grandma taught me, I'm 74 and the grandma, but no girls to pass it onto. Your table runner was gorgeous, and the use of fussy cuts around the flowers was beautiful. Thank you very much.

Thank you Lowell, I’ll be posting a curved piecing video later this week.

[@beckyh.2900]

This is the best explanation of Hexi hand work I've seen. I love the natural way you present. The machine sewing of hexi is something I may have to try. You certainly made the idea of hand sewing hexi's less intimidating. I have done a few but never finished one flower.

I sure hope you finish that one and many more. :)

Thank you, Vickie, for showing an easier way to sew these cuties. I will make a Scrappy table runner using 2" and 2 1/2" squares. The glue and your sewing hint helps a lot.

[@CreativeNotions]

Thanks Marcella, the glue does help but I forgot to mention that a glue stick works too and if you want you can cut squares and do the same technique making there more fabric to fold over and hold onto.

Vickie, this was such a great video and even though I don't do a ton of hand work, i will be doing this by hand rather than machine. Your instructions are so clear and I can't wait to get started but first I need the 28mm rotary cutter. Thank you so much! (I don't mind the finger licking - do that myself all the time!) Thank you for taking me out of my comfort zone! Since I am retiring in a week, I'll have time to do this.

I was so happy when I opened the February subscription and saw hexagon templates and papers. It’s something I’ve been thinking about lately but wasn’t sure what size paper to start with. Love your table runner, pillow and mug rug. Think that I will dip my toes in the water and make the mug rug. Looking forward to using the beautiful Adele In Spring fabric to make the Chain Link quilt. So many projects and not enough time! Thanks for the tutorial Vickie. See you next time.

I love, love, love paper piecing hexies. I make them in all sizes and I do it all by hand. It's fast and easy. I have made placemats, table runners, quilts, coasters, pillows, and more. I use the hexie flowers to embellish all sorts of things. They are so fun and cute and brighten up any space. It's a great way to use up scraps. They make really cute borders too. You can use them to make really cute pin cushions as well or put a button in the center as an added decoration. They make really cute pockets on an apron or little girl's dress or skirt. I am really hooked on these. They are so fun.

[@CreativeNotions]

I love your enthusiasm! I want to make a ball with them but haven’t tried it yet

[@bayoutown1990]

@@CreativeNotions I tried doing it and it's a bit challenging but of course it can be done. Every time I watch a video about paper piecing hexies for projects, I get all inspired over again. I have been trying to figure out how to use the left over hexies after making flowers and saw a video yesterday that makes flowers of all the same color but different patterns. So cute! I also saw on Missouri Star a video about how to put batting and a backing on each hexie and finish them individually so that there is no need for machine or hand quilting. I'm going to have to try that as well.

Start with a small project like a mug rug, then maybe a placemat then a table runner etc until you feel confident. Don’t overwhelm yourself with a huge project or you may get discouraged.

Great Video Vickie 🙏 I was thinking watching when you were quilting that maybe it would be easier to use a zipper foot for that! Also for sewing the Hexagons together with machine.

Great idea to keep the binding stitches inside, so you do not have to remove them. I thought you had to go thru to the front. All of your projects are adorable. I am currently doing hexies with the Daisy and Grace, Quilt as you go templates. It is fun, too. If I wanted to make big stitches by hand inside my hexies, what kind of thread would I use, so it would show up?

[@CreativeNotions]

If you want to make stitches that show you could use a heavier weight thread such as Masterpiece 50 wt by Superior threads or you could use embroidery thread. If you don't want the stitches to show use a thinner thread like Sew Fine #30 wt by Superior Threads or another that is 40 wt or less. :)

That would be my suggestion. Try pulling as much of the paper off as you can and wet the rest. It’s a water soluble glue so it should release after it’s wet. Next time use a tiny amount of glue or a glue stick would work well too.

I don't understand why you are sticking AND sewing. I love EPP but I use a stick glue. I don't take the paper out until it's incased by another piece. ie middle of flower. Always interesting how others do things😁

[@CreativeNotions]

Hi Angela, sometimes I use a glue stick to hold the fabric too especially if the fabric is cut to just over the size of the cardboard. I didn’t mention it but meant to that if you cut a square that is bigger than the cardboard it is easier to sew it without the glue and give more fabric to hold onto. I like to try new methods too so you should choose the one that works best for you.

[@katehenry2718]

Looks like the glue makes it a bit of a nuisance to get the papers out. To make it look easy, refilm an easy removal. This is just enough extra fuss to make me not want to use this method. The NO paper method by hand or machine looks a lot easier. The famous Y seams look easy enough. )))
