[@hilaryalcock5598]

Brilliant! I have been making hexies for years but your method is so much better than the way I’ve been doing them. Thank you.

[@lauragama1210]

I was searching this video for months. Once I saw a women doing hexis but I couldn't understand the step by step. Thank you so much!!!! 💕 I can wait to start!!!! (I am in my job and I want to go home)

[@dianewantaja6854]

Ive done hexies, but you showed a different way to make them! Thank you...

[@simplestitchesfabricshop5217]

Wonderful! Thanks for the feedback!

[@karenwilliamson1530]

Thanks for sharing details on how to fussy cut a hexie. Will definitely try.

[@laurie1379]

I can't wait to make one of these with some of my leftover Christmas fabric!!!

[@Kris-un9qj]

I have always wanted to know how to make hexies. Thank you for this video.

[@jennyjist]

I adore you people!! I have been in touch several times in need of help on a pattern and you were awesome. Soo glad you have a You tube channel👍🏻❤️🤗

[@simplestitchesfabricshop5217]

Awww...you are too kind! We sure do try our best to help out. Let us know if you have any suggestions on videos you would like to see!

[@LisaJustStitched]

Best Hexie tutorial ever! Thanks SEW much! 🪡🧵

[@lindabaile6707]

So happy you are on KZbin now. Really enjoyed the tutorial!

[@simplestitchesfabricshop5217]

Thank you so much!!

[@jmsac04]

Love your shop! So glad you created a KZbin channel!

[@JulieRStitches]

Your hexie demonstration is so very helpful and I actually think I could do them after watching your video.

[@cherylkazee9936]

Thank you so much for this. I used glue on the first hexies I made, but thought it gross and unsatisfying. I've switched to thread basting on my cuurent no-hexie epp project, but I'm looking forward to trying your exact method on my next hexies. In fact, I'm going to do a few hexies right now just to embed this in my brain. Thanks again!

[@nancywilson5810]

Thank you for these instructions. I have seen several ways of making hexies. This is the best one I have seen. I will be trying this soon.

[@simplestitchesfabricshop5217]

You are so welcome!

[@amyredman6247]

I saw an adorable hexie quilt and have been intrigued ever since but it seems like it would take so long to put an entire quilt together that way! I still might have to try it sometime if the right fabric combination comes along. 😁

[@simplestitchesfabricshop5217]

You can do it! The right fabric always makes those long projects worth it!

[@carolosborn4435]

Need to get my hexies back out, great information.

[@diannegillin1268]

This looks like so much fun....and Happy 3rd anniversary. I have loved doing business with you!

[@suekennedy6830]

I use the light bored for paper piecing too!

Great instructions Myra! Now I want to make hexies. ❤️

[@lisakmiec]

I've been afraid to try hexies. My hand sewing needs work. But I think I'll be trying them with your new pillow kit soon! Thanks for the tutorial!

[@simplestitchesfabricshop5217]

Oh don't be afraid! You'll do great!

[@tamaraoster6430]

Super tutorial! You explained the steps thoroughly and provided “the madness to your method”. Thank you so much, I have not tried English Paper Piecing but I am definitely motivated to give it a try now. 💜

[@simplestitchesfabricshop5217]

Great to hear! I love hearing tips from others, always more than one way to do things ☺️

Awesome! Thank you for your support!

[@Ike7105]

Thanks for sharing. I have not yet ventured into epp nor hexies. This makes me want to try for sure. Love your little pouch also.

[@LittleYellowHouseCrafts]

Welcome to KZbin!!

[@simplestitchesfabricshop5217]

Thank you! You are that real pro here...sooo much to learn!♥️

[@donnavanboxel9174]

Really enjoyed your video.

[@froggalb1000]

I have never tried this but you made it look so easy and fun that I am looking forward to it! Love your fabric!!

[@Lulab3ll3]

Paper pieces makes a see thru acrylic template you can buy that makes it super easy to fussy cut.

[@janettepack7129]

This is also a really great option for fussy cutting! Either one works awesome. Thanks for the tip!

[@muckdart]

I’m so glad you made this tutorial! I have the pattern but have been nervous to dive in. I’m excited to try it now!

[@simplestitchesfabricshop5217]

Give it a try! Such a fun project ♥️

[@juliekaufman8635]

This was a fantastic tutorial! I love your organization too! 💕

[@joannaconley514]

This looks so fun! Love using videos to learn new skills!

[@magicalumbrella7151]

Tip: draw round your template for as many pieces you wish to cut out, then you can cut them out all in one go (adding seam allowance) and it speeds up the process as no need for pinning. Lovely to see hand basting, it's just as quick as glue, looks after the corners, and allows for quick paper template removal after. If you have the pieces flat-edged together rather than the whole piece front to front, then whip stitch flat you will never get a joining stitch showing on the front and it makes joining sections to larger projects very easy.

[@earthmagic1]

@magicalumbrella7151 That is a great tip for multiple layers of fabric. I went to glue from stitching. Now I'm back to stitching because I don't find that glue keeps the corners down.

[@raeconnelly]

This is the clearest and least fussy tutorial I've seen in this subject. Thank you.

[@tabithalustig2155]

Love this!! I sew 🧵 can do it😉

[@Linda-ep3mc]

Thank you this has helped big time

[@wendywilson1736]

I use a wonder chip to hold the fabric as I stitch around the hexie paper while moving the clip.. Pins tend to bow the paper, and skews the hexie on me.

[@ponylady12]

great video!

[@simplestitchesfabricshop5217]

Thanks!

[@claudettemonty4077]

I begun EPP some 6 months ago? And I prepared 7 hexies needed for my flower. But I saw some ladies, like the ones in your plastic box, who have a lot of hexies basted. Do you prepare all your hexies and when you decides that you want to sew a flower, you choose in your box the hexies needed?? What is the advantage?? Thanks for your answer.

[@megm0lly]

Hexies are so fun to have on hand. I love making up a bunch in a collection and put them on bags, pillows, table toppers. Such fun readymade pieces to have on hand. Just addicting to make honestly 😆

[@ShelleyMacGregor]

Great tutorial, especially when I remembered to go full screen....

[@trudiecase]

If you use a hole punch on the paper hexi, you can pin inside the hole to hold your fabric to the paper. Makes it easy to remove the paper also.

[@deborahdority3231]

Also, I really like the little storage box, can you share name/brand?

[@simplestitchesfabricshop5217]

Here is a link to a box like the one I use. Such a great way to store those little pieces! www.amazon.com/ideas/amzn1.account.AEMWTV42X4ARUDLHIVRHHHBWLG4Q/6BT5YCZ6PQE0

[@RoxChapman-gg2tu]

I see this is an older video but if you are still answering comments, can you tell me where you got your storage box? I’ve been searching for one like this and I can’t find one that has this configuration.

[@beckymatthews3496]

Left hander checking in with what I figured out from my hexie fun: in this video she appears to go counter-clockwise so I reversed that and went clock-wise and had success or what I am considering success for my first try. I also had less stabbing from the pin(s) when I pinned from the top of the fabric while worked on the back. YMMV.

[@simplestitchesfabricshop5217]

Becky, this is awesome info! Thanks for coming back to share!

[@janetarcher1983]

NIce video!
