Machine Sewing Hexagons - Tips That Make it Easy by Lisa Capen Quilts

[@cosmicbrambleclawv2]

Very much appreciated ❤ I don't know what wild hare got up my butt, but I decided to do hexagons for my first quilt 😂 this is going to be a crucial help

[@leslietinyhousebuilderwann3851]

Now I will try hexagons. I was putting off doing one until I watched your video.

[@rhondaroberts9581]

Me too! I loved Lisa's video!

[@MarneMeredith]

This is really helpful! I just sewed my first two rows together :)

[@janetcozens5756]

I canot belive it this is just what part ofmy Hexagon im just about too do👏👏👏💐💐💐😊😊😊

[@caffinavenuellc56]

BEST EVER!!! Thank You..I feel much more confident.

[@susans2599]

Updating my previous comment...you are a genius. Making hatch marks on the hexagon corners is much more effective than a dot, & it has made sewing my 17 inch hexies so easy !!

[@susans2599]

I looked at this on my design wall for 2 days deciding hexie placement & then found your video. Am assuming same technique will work for 120 degree inserts on the sides. Thanks again.

[@stevewatson3386]

Am a 40 year quilter. Your video is the best I ever saw So easy to follow and understand.

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

Wow, this is such a compliment, thank you so much!

[@YomeidaGarza-ku4dx]

LOVE YOUR WORK SO NICE

[@debbylongley7576]

Thank you so much! I have a quilt that is more then 40 years in the making. The story is my hubbys Mom started this quilt years ago, but never finished. So I’ve decided it was time to finish, hence we’ve been married 31 years. I stored it away in a cedar chest, and got inspired to finish, but didn’t even know how? This for me is a BIG undertaking, as I have never hand stitched or attempted to make a quilt, EVER ! I know it’s not going to be perfect ,but at least finished. Your tutorial helped me understand about , so a BIG thank you.

[@Washiela]

For someone who has always handsewn hexagons, you have encouraged me to think about machine sewing hexagons, which I've always been nervous about tackling. Thank you for a lovely tutorial ❤

[@lorettahenderson8979]

Thank you Lisa for your clear and concise instructions ❤

[@Mickey-jn8hz]

There are certain things I refuse to attempt in sewing and hexies are one of them. To me the headache is simply not worth it, but you Lisa will overcome anything!

[@theresamorgan1033]

Doesn't it make the heart feel good to know you tackled another challenge....😉😉😉😉 good job!

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

Yes! You are so right!! It did feel really good stretching myself out of my "comfort" zone and accomplishing a quilt that I had been intimidated to try :) Thanks for watching and the awesome feedback!

[@Debbieormike]

The sounds of Freedom! Love it

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

Me too!!

[@joannagof6662]

Thank you sooooo much this is my next quilt for a bee and book design.

[@jazzyjoyce421]

Lisa, thank u so much, I'm working on a hexagon quilt, and was having so much trouble, u have helped me tremendously. 😊😉

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

Glad I could help!

[@graystar2519]

Thank you so much for your hexagon quilt clip. I have had some fantastic fabric for a hexagon quilt top but didn't have the confidence to start it. Thanks to you and your give it a go attitude, plus the very clear clip. I have started mine. Very happy. Thank you

[@Wanda6308]

I came across this video and realized I have a box full of hand sewn flowers made from the hexi and I now see how to do it by machine, so I can now add all my flowers together. freeing up another box of needed projects to be finished . Thank you

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

You are so welcome!

[@ladylee8364]

Thank you thank you i to have just started to learn and im very intimidated by hexagons but you have made it so easy thank you will be starting my first

[@scottydog6539]

Beautiful stitching. Thank you. You did a great job.

[@junematthews2691]

Thank you! Very helpful. I am making three little quilts for my triplet great grand babies due this summer. Their mom is a beekeeper so I’m using hexies to make them look like honeycomb. I’ve not done hexies before so I’m glad I found this tutorial!

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

aweee, triplets! Congratulations, I hope you enjoy making your quilts :)

[@YomeidaGarza-ku4dx]

I WANT ONE NOW GOING TO BY A BIG GEM PLATE NOW LOVE THESE NOW I HAVE SO MUCH FABRICE NOW I CAN USE JT THANK YOU I MADE SMALL ONES BUT NEVER SUE THEM.

[@dianneeverett1633]

Very good instructions. I have always shied away from Y seams. This is encouraging. Tfs

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

I'm so glad this video was helpful for you Dianne!!!

[@mdb7558]

This is a fantastic tutorial. Thank you for your detailed and to the point instructions. I had a friend pick which quilt she liked best. I was secretly hoping she wouldn't pick the hexagon quilt...well, she did! And I was like, "Oh boy! 😬" Now after watching this video, I think I can do it for her. Thanks again!

[@chareseshinabery]

This tutorial was very helpful! I did my first hexie project with your help! Thank you!

[@allisong6]

Omg this is EXACTLY what I have on my to-do list....and avoiding.... U are a life saver... Fabulous video... Now to convince my hands

[@pamelaallen6543]

Thank you for the wonderful tutorial.

[@wordwalkermomma4]

Yes! That would be me...dreading the construction of the Hexies that I've long admired. Thank you, so much!

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

You are so welcome, my pleasure :)

[@melissaw5812]

Jet noise. The sound of freedom!

[@mregister3945]

Yes! Being an AF BRAT & AF Vet, Mom to an AF BRAT & ARMY Vet ~and~ Grandma to two ARMY BRATS, the Sound of Freedom is one I hold dear! 😊

[@debnianwilliamson]

I loved the way Lisa explained this technique. I felt that some of the other clips on KZbin missed stages which aren't obvious to us beginners with lots of non specific 'chatter'. Thanks Lisa, I'm off to practise now !

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

Thank you so much for the awesome feedback :)

[@clareaitchison542]

Thanks so much for your help and inspiration. I am going to attempt my first hexagon quilt now!

[@SUGPIAQBARBIE]

I love hexagons and use the quilt as you go method. I make 8, 10, 12, 14 ,16 inch hexagons. I hand sew them, but they can be done by machine.

[@leebaxter7840]

After taking years off between quilts, and my next attempt being a Hexie chicken wire quilt, this video reminded me of skills long forgotten, thanks for the refresher!

[@deidreking4472]

This was so helpful . Thank you ! I decided to cut larger hexis so it's easier to draw and see the 1/4 inch seam line. I never thought to do that . Draw the seam line. That's gonna make this so much easier.

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ginacalvello6403]

Thank You Sew Much Lisa..You really Explain amd Show this very Well. 🙂

[@TheBlueberryBee]

Thanks so much for the great tutorial! I’m tackling my first hexagon quilt.

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

You can do it Grace!!

[@joanbaker5637]

Great explanation! Vey informative. 😊

[@kimrhodes9483]

I used this video to make my hexagon backing for my wall hanging for my sister. Here’s my picture. Thank you Lisa! It worked GREAT! I could not add a picture. So sorry.

[@berniceoconnor5381]

You have definitely inspired me to have a go at this Lisa. I have started to use freezer paper and PVA glue for applique since watching you. I love your sweet self deprecating teaching. Have confidence in yourself Lisa. You are an excellent teacher. Hello from England!

[@maryhancock9681]

Way to go, Harlan! This is my favorite quilt shape along with Sunbonnet Sue.

[@annenorth8553]

Thank you for this tutorial. I am actually making a Hexagon quilt today for my new grand-daughter, and I am using your tutorial to help me.

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

So great to hear from you Anne, and thanks for bringing me along in your quilting journey....I hope these tips help a lot!

[@barbaracoleman9215]

This is wonderful! I only did hexagons with EPP. Now I can use my scraps to make a quilt using the acrylic shapes. Thank you for doing the work and tackling the seams!

[@nataliegist2014]

Thanks you for the information.I Love the noise it makes me fell safe.

[@deborahdavis854]

Thank You!! I am sewing mine with you. You had clear instructions making it easy to follow.

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

sewing party!!!! hahahaa......I'm so glad this video was helpful for you Deborah!

[@allisonchiliak9728]

I really appreciate the simple yet detailed instructions and tips in this video. I’ve made a few quilts, but I’m by no means experienced at it, and your tutorial gave me the confidence to create a hexagon quilt pattern for a baby blanket as a gift. It is slow going, but the end result is really cool!

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

Glad it was helpful!

[@victoriachoate7982]

Thank you you made it very clear on how to do this. I had cut out blocks to make a queen size quilt. Didn’t realize I needed help to put them together, so now I have learned something new from you. Thanks again for sharing.

[@houseeffortsbysagarika3753]

Thanks Lisa. I have enjoyed your vedio of hexagon joining .it's really helpful to me .

[@jatzygirl3120]

My first quilt top was PPE and all by hand. Hexagonal pieces added up to 4,444 pieces doublebed. Sadly I lost my quilt top 😔 😞 😢 😕 but now I am going to do another one. I am so excited to have found this 😍 video. Thanks for your help 👍 🙂 🙏 😊

[@nancybowers1760]

Wonderful tutorial -- your patience with sewing the hexies is very calming -- I look forward to making a quilt like yours. Thank you so much for showing us how this can be done !!! I look forward to any of your future tutorials -- you're a great teacher!!

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

Aweee Nancy you made my day! Thank you ♡

[@farmansha3847]

You are POWER gurl

[@farmansha3847]

You are Lisa Power teacher ❤

[@donnawhitworth4532]

this was very helpful, wish I had seen this about a week ago when I was making a small topper, Believe it or not it ended up in the trash. As I said this was so very helpful!! Thank You

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

Ohhh noooo, not the trash ☹

[@annecraig9909]

Thanks for this tutorial Lisa. I got hexagon templates from my husband at Christmas time and your tutorial has inspired me to attempt a hexi quilt 👍

[@thriftingrandma8095]

Wow Lisa you are just an amazing teacher!! Thank you so much.. you help make everything easier than what it really is..

[@nadurkee46]

Great presentation and lots of helpful tips. Thank you.

[@dorothygriffiths6626]

Hello lovely Lisa I really learned a lot from your fabulous tutorial. I love hexagons but have always made a mess of them, now I understand why. You explain everything so clearly and make things easy to understand. I am sure your client will be thrilled with their quilt, it is so obvious that you put a lot of thought and love into all of your memory quilts. Have a wonderful weekend Lisa, sending you warmest hugs and loves xxxxxxxDorothy 🙋🏻😘❤️

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

I'm so glad you enjoyed this...I always wonder....am I making sense or goofing up hahahaaa. Thank you for being so awesome!

[@karentoynton8948]

Thanks for your advice.

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

You're welcome

[@saphirejade1195]

This is exactly what i needed to know. Starting my first hexagon quilt. Thanks for sharing!

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

You are so welcome!

[@kirstyrm]

Fab tutorial thanks! You make it look a lot less intimidating than I thought it was - looking forward to giving it a go!

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

You can do it!

[@maryandbarrymurphy3441]

Thank you for this, have made hexies before, all by hand. But this is great to machine stitch.....

[@jordannunn3629]

Very helpful. I’ve just started quilting ... haven’t even finished one yet. I would love to try this too. I like the hexagon quilts with bees on them 😊

[@Carol-mv4ly]

Hi there from Costa Rica ... Thank you so much for helping me with my hexagon quilt.

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

Happy to help!

[@jeanniezimmerman788]

Thank you for your logical insights on sewing hexies. I have mine cut out and then I froze. You made me feel less intimidated. Thanks.

[@jacquesslabbert1092]

Warmest greetings from Cape Town, South Africa. What an absolutely well-presented tutorial. It so helped me do this the right way the first time! Not yet close to making a quilt, but I am using hexagons to make some very interesting-looking tote bags!

[@ilse3887]

Never made a quilt before...but started with a hexagon quilt!! But i did it all by hand!! Using paper inside!! It was a lot of work..but i am very happy how it turned out!! Now i have to put a a filler and back to it!!

[@lutherandrear]

Thank you for this! I chose a hexagon quilt for my very first quilting project! It was only after cutting a million little hexagons that I realized I had no idea how to sew them!

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

You can do it Drea!

[@dianemiller9050]

You have to have the patience of Job to sew that quilt. Good job, Lisa.

[@meatdog]

Nice job but I will continue to hand sew all my hexies. I prefer EPP for hexagons. This would drive me to trash the project so I'm happy you have the patience for this tedious machine sewing. ❤❤

[@sonniecampbell1788]

Thanks for such a detailed and well explained tutorial. I’m going to have to try hexies now. (I also have a Patchwork 😀).

[@xzytqweo3538]

Thank you LIsa! And trust me, you are an expert at quilting! I am beginning to quilt and can only hope to get as good as you!

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

all it takes is time and practice :) you'll get there!!

[@cathytaylor1203]

I just purchased a hexagon ruler and found your tutorial... thank you!!!

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

[@juliekustom4859]

That was amazing and very helpful! I may tackle hexagons now! I think I’ll start small with a table runner though.

[@Ella-49]

Excellent tutorial on sewing hexagons by machine. This is going to be an awesome memory quilt.

[@marandamae3635]

I’ve decided to start quilting, and somehow I decided my first quilt would be a hexagon one, without realising the difficulty of the seams, thank you for making such a comprehensive and beginner friendly video on this

[@lisamartin-flaven7769]

Thankyou so much, I want to make a hexagon quilt but was dreading it. You’ve just made that super easy 😊

Brilliant. I was gifted 400 precut hexies. Going to try it thanks

[@jackieboyd7506]

I bought a patchwork magazine with precut hexagons but had no idea how to sew them together. I thought there was going to be a basic guide at the back like my crochet mags, but no.., so thank you for teaching me what my magazine didn't. Thank you very juch

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

you are so welcome Jackie! This quilt was a learning experience for me and I'm glad I shared the process :)

This is a great video explaining each step for a new quilter such as me. Thanks

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

Thanks for watching!

[@athomson2129]

Thank you Lisa! I received a bunch of hexies from a friend who passed away and wanted to turn them into a baby quilt for charity. Of course, I had no idea how to do it by machine - I'd done a grandmother's flower garden by hand but wasn't about to do that with these large ones! You made it very easy, thank you! When I'm done I'll send a pic.

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

I'm so glad this video was helpful for you Alex!! I'd love to see a picture :)

[@pamcooke9014]

Thank you Lisa, to show me how to sew on hexs I've always want to make a quilt my grandma did them always my hand not on a sewing machine.

[@mom3mt]

Thank you for such a detailed explanation! I am currently sewing and watching along to see if I can conquer this skill!😉

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

You can do it!

[@helenbirdart]

I'm a newbie quilter and went gung ho cutting out hexies and then became stumped. How the heck do I sew these? Hahaha....Thank you so much for showing me! I'm glad I found you here on You Tube ❤

[@christong9868]

Great tutorial, thank you. I have just done an English paper pieced cushion cover that took for everrrrrrrr! I told myself the next one will be done by machine. I’m going to give this a go because I just also purchased a hexagon templates. Thanks once again.
