Learn English Paper Piecing with me! Easy Hexagon Flower Tutorial

[@joansergey977]

Great job I’m working on a grandmas flower garden. I follow pigtail Quilting. She has a really great way of making a quilt I use the paper. I loved how she made a quilt by placing it in an 8 1/2 inch white block and also bordering it with fabrics. You might really like it.❤️

I was in the hospital for 4 months in 2017 and one of my nurses taught me how to do this. I just love it. During that time, my husband made a sewing room out of our 5th bedroom for me and I love it. There are many projects behind those doors, but I can go in there and have the best time. I don’t have to worry about cleaning it up-I just shut the door and lights off!!!!

As far as what to do the finished flowers, I read where an senior citizen said that she helped her grandmother sew them onto a "blank canvas". She laid out a solid piece of fabric onto the floor and they literally just threw them onto the floor. Where they landed is where they were pinned down. Then Grandma appliqued them down. The lady said that Grandma appliqued them onto an already made blanket that developed worn spots or holes. Also little girls got them onto their clothes where they were badly stained or had a hole. I love those ideas but as of yet had not done it.

I love that!

Omgoodness that’s a wonderful option!!! Thank you for sharing ❤️😀

Looking forward to seeing the completed quilt and the baby bib video. Thank you!

I've been away on holiday and I've been doing hand sewing hexagons!

[@selaine1311]

I really loved your family coming in at the end.❤ Real life and how they all rely on Mama!

[@kellihorger707]

excellent tutorial. I am definitely trying some of these.

[@deloresrast8543]

Great video!!!

[@darcyspellman8722]

Did you finish your quilt? Curious how you added the white fabric to finish it out. Thanks for your videos! Happy New Year. 🎉

[@jenniferlindsay6227]

Love your tutorial. Have you sown the hexies together yet?

[@PinCutSew]

No, i have stalled, LOL. I'm thinking about stopping with what I have and making a quilt with them in a bit different way. Stay tuned!

[@Loridye3605]

I watch Kate at The Last Homely House and her new channelThe Las Homely Garden! I love the hex quilt but haven’t started one yet. Love your colors also. Can’t wait to see yours finished. Thanks for sharing!❤😁

[@carlaatkins2619]

I watch Kate as well. She reminds me of my Aunt Esme.

[@rachelburgener819]

Yes I Love Kate; I honestly feel as she’s my older sister🥰!!!😝 ❤️😀

[@lucysumerlin1992]

Love your red machine. What brand. Thanks

[@PinCutSew]

It’s a Janome MC6650, I love it 🫶🏻

[@1angelofthelight2]

You have to be careful of these hexies , they get under your skin and you can't stop making them. Well thats what happened to me. I ended up making a pile of tiny ones and which i hand sowed onto some curtain lining and they look great, a bit like stained glass. Am a bit lost now I've finished lol

[@rachelburgener819]

Hmmmm I love that idea👏👏👏 ❤️😀

[@natsumifs]

Do you remove the paper afterwards? Does this technique works replacing the English paper for freezer paper? Thank you

[@PinCutSew]

The papers stay in until the entire quilt top is finished! I know some people use freezer paper, I haven't tried it.

[@lindamcneely]

I have been making these for years now and they are soooooooo addictive at nite when watching t.v. they multiply so quickly. be very carefull with the glue. I always did them sewing only and decided to go with the glue to speed things up. well when it came to removing the papers they were so stuck in there that it tore my hexagons apart. now I just do it the old fashoned way.

[@ErsOoohribe]

Would you say this is a good road trip project? If not what road trip sewing project do you recommend?

[@PinCutSew]

Yes definitely!!

[@catsknit23]

You don't stitch through the paper! Just catch the corners with a couple stitches.

[@jonnieyoung4343]

Love your channel. So informative! Your personality is so real: real and fun!, Glad I found you!

[@PinCutSew]

Thanks so much! 🤗

[@Violet_Red_]

I always love the colors you choose for your quilts.

[@PinCutSew]

Thank you! 😊

[@shanaproctor100]

Really looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

[@SewAndTellwithDori]

I tried my hand at English Paper Piecing about 5 years ago and really liked it. Due to life getting in the way, I put my self-made kit aside after completing my first project (a small table topper) and haven't picked it back up again since. The idea of a neck light is a great idea! Love the quilt pattern you are making for your daughter. 🥰

[@triciatuley7423]

Great instruction, thank you.❤

[@laris2328]

Christmas is a coming round the bend. Great gifts or gift tags. If it has a hexagon ornament on it, it came from "Sally". No reading required. Great for kids that help out giving gifts. Oops I forgot that gifts need a TO part lol.

[@rachelburgener819]

Wow, another great idea!!! ❤️😀

[@redeemedvintageseamstress4728]

Sew pretty!

[@maryalicehornsby6636]

I’m making a grandmothers fan quilt right now just like yours. Mine are 1 inch hexagon and I’m appliquéing the finished flower on an 8 inch white square made all the flowers first Then I started appliquéing on the 8 inch squares. Looks pretty good

[@maryalicehornsby6636]

Appliqué

[@lameezackerdien403]

Good day … thanks for the tutorial. I’ve never done this hand sewing patchwork before … I always wanted to know …. what happens to the paper/card-stock at the back? Does it remain there? What happens when washing the item in the future?

[@PinCutSew]

You take the papers out after the quilt top is complete!

[@lameezackerdien403]

Oh ok .. thanks for your response. I hope to attempt this soon…. You got me interested. Thanks so much.

[@txcrafter4ever]

I've been Doing EPP since 2019 And I want to complete my second project. I love doing this & it's so much fun and relaxing. I enjoyed your video, I am threadbasting my hexies with some old that a ninety something year old lady I worked with at the company I work for had gifted to me. She still around And I think about her any time I pick up one of her Spools ofnthread that she gave me

[@shelleymorrison8210]

Nikki I have been busy making my hexagons for my quilt. This so much fun real relaxing in the evening.

[@sherryharding5792]

Very interesting to see how creative you are with the hexagons. However i was just wondering what happens to the papers? Sorry i'm new and i have not done this method before. Please help. Thank you. Your daughter is sooo lucky❤

[@PinCutSew]

After you put the whole quilt top together, you remove the papers and finish the quilt 👍🏻

[@sherryharding5792]

@@PinCutSew oh i see. Does this mean i can reuse them again? Just wondering..

[@PinCutSew]

I'm not sure since this is my first one, but I think they'll probably get ripped up in the process. Then again, the ones I'm using are sturdier material, so maybe some will be salvageable? @@sherryharding5792

[@sherryharding5792]

@@PinCutSew i truly appreciate you prompt reply. Take care.

[@jeanneftc]

Very fun video. I’ve made several of your patterns and look forward to new videos. Do you have a pattern for the birds hanging by your window? I would love to make one!❤

[@PinCutSew]

You are not to first person ask about it the birds! I will bump that up in the list 😁

Too much irrelevant chatter unfortunately so had to stop watching.
