Teeny, Tiny English Paper Piecing - Hexagons

[@gramsusa4065]

Your sweet voice puts you number one in my channel subscriptions. Sewing has been my go to and one of my earliest memories watching my mother sew on a peddle driven Singer. From nearly 70 yrs ago making scruffy doll clothes through selling when illness ended jobs to late in life for relaxation, sewing is my rock. Thirty yrs ago it healed after brain surgery. Today it calms stress due to cancer. I want to make your hexagons but arthritis and partial blindness make it difficult. Right now it's masks and prayer hearts. I'll never stop sewing until complete blindness and then I'll still search for a way. Magnifying lamps, electronic sewing machines and other guide helps are a Godsend. God Bless You. You are an angel to many.💜🙏💮🛑

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Thank you for such a lovely comment! I really appreciate your kind words. I am glad you have sewing to help you through very difficult times and I am sorry arthritis and sight loss are making it difficult. You are an inspiration that you won't give up on sewing and that you will always find a way. Take care x x

[@paulineshaw1548]

Oh my goodness, literally just came across you this evening and I am in love! I have made 1” hexagons (only into pincushions so far!) but never as small as yours - they are so cute that I stopped mid video and placed an order with Ashmead Designs. This 66 year old will be following you on You Tube and Instagram - you sound so young but are so knowledgeable and passionate about EPP which I only recently discovered. Love your teaching style 💕🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤗

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Oh Pauline, thank you for such kind words, it means so much to me. I'm so glad you have bought some hexiform, you will love it, it is great stuff. Thank you for following me across KZbin and instagram, I really appreciate the support. x

[@pamhillabolt8179]

My heart feels all warm when I see a young person with the passion for English paper piecing. Keep Smiling

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Ahh thank you! I want to encourage everyone to have a go. Thanks for watching

[@christieyurth2087]

2020 has been a very stressful year for me (well, most of us) and sewing is a lifesaver. Your calm voice and manner have been so soothing and adding that to my love for hexagons, wow, just thanks.

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

You are so welcome, I am so glad you enjoyed this video. Thanks for watching. I hope the rest of the year is a lot less stressful for you

[@patriciagechei8145]

Precious! You make it look doable for someone new to paper piecing and hexies!

It definitely is! Tiny but fun 😊

Such tiny little hexagons, I'm working on a Christmas "something" right now, not sure what it is going to be yet. Love your tutorials

[@laurienorton7422]

I could totally see me making one or two tiny flowers, but I don't know past that. This takes alot of patience. The needle cushion is a possibility.

Lovely pieces of work. Yes I love liberty fabric. So very different isn’t it. I am making a 108x108 size quilt. Using liberty and its looking amazing. I am just doing it as flowers and putting them together. However each hexagon in the flower is different, I have tried doing some with the glue and some with sewing. I prefer to sew for myself I can get a better finish. I find glueing you can get near to the sewing edge which makes it very hard to sew together. However either way has advantages. Very enjoyable to do. Thank you for your video .

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Your quilt sounds wonderful Karen! Yes, I have found the same thing with the glue if it's too near the edge. Take care and happy sewing

[@devinemsm05]

Thank you Emma. I ordered some of the Liberty fabric (scraps) and they arrived from the UK quickly. Lovely prints and plenty to make lots of tiny hexies. What type of needle do you use? I'm having difficulty stitching them together. Maybe I should order the hexiforms you use instead of paper, especially for the tiny ones. LOVE all of your videos. Thanks so much!!

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Hi Mary, that’s exciting that you’ve got some Liberty scraps, you can have lots of fun with those. I use a clover black gold applique sharps size 9 needle but many people also like size 10, or milliners needles. I’m sorry you are having difficulty stitching them, I definitely found them fiddly at first but I got used to them, I’m sure you will too. The hexiform is brilliant and definitely helps make it easier as you don’t have to remove it afterwards. Let me know how you get on, happy sewing 😊🌸

[@devinemsm05]

Thanks Emma. It's not the size really, I'm having trouble getting the needle through the fabric with the paper. I ordered some hexiforms and size 10 needles today from Ashmead. It will be much easier I'm sure! Thank you. Mary

Have you used a product like Heat-n-bond light? I would like to iron it to my fabric and use a Cricut to cut out all the hexies for a project. Any experience?

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

I haven’t used that and I haven’t used the Cricut to cut hexies from fabric, only from hexiform, but I imagine it would work well as it’s so good isn’t it 😊

[@devinemsm05]

I just love the tiny hexies and your wonderful video. Thank you so much. Do you have a method for removing the papers when they have been glued?

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Hi Mary, thanks ever so much for watching my video and for taking the time to leave me such a lovely comment. I don't remove the templates in this video, because here I'm not using paper ones, I'm using hexiform ones which are designed to be left in. But when I do use papers, I just peel back the fabric that has been stuck to the paper and pull the paper out, it comes out easily if you don't use too much glue.

[@wilhelminasieffon-williams9213]

Any more advice or tips on covering the hexi form/really small paper? I’m really struggling to get enough seam allowance but not too much and also keeping them symmetrical. I’ve tried using the guide with the hexi forms but that seems too much. Tia

[@wilhelminasieffon-williams9213]

Ps I’ve watched the other videos about basting

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

I keep the seam allowance really small, just enough to fold over and overlap just a little. The guide on the packet is too big for this size in my opinion. Are you glue basting? I think that helps. And also, try thinner fabric first. I use a lot of Liberty tana lawn but any kind of cotton lawn fabric works well with it being thinner. Then you can feel the edge of the hexiform more easily and make sure not to bend it. Keep practicing, you’ll get there. 🌸

[@karenshampine7839]

Do you have any suggestions on how to make your own EPP paper pieces, the small 1/2" or 1/4" cuties that you use? I'm in love with your KZbin videos and want to make my own paper pieces so I don't have to keep buying them. Thank you so much for any advice you can give. xoxo

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Hi Karen. On my website in the free patterns section, there are free printable hexagon templates that you can print and cut out. I would suggest using paper that is thicker than printer paper, thin card would work well 🌸

thank you Sarah! There are people who thread baste this size, and if you are using Hexiform rather than paper then it's even easier as you don't have to remove them. However, I would suggest maybe starting with 3/8" hexagons first. They are slightly larger but still lovely and tiny, if that makes sense!

@@emmajonesvintagesewingbox it does thanks 😊

[@jeanpoulton7524]

Do you know if any shops in the US carry hexiforms?

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Yes, you can get some from Brimfield Awakening

What type of thread do you use?

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

For tiny patchwork I use polyester called Invisafil made by wonderfil 😊

[@suzannedougan4923]

I bought the product for inside but I’m having a devil of a time getting the glue to stick. Any thoughts please??

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Oh dear, are you using the Sewline glue?

[@suzannedougan4923]

Yes I am so that’s my problem

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

I haven’t had any problems with the glue, I definitely use more glue than I would with paper. If you still don’t have any luck after using more glue, maybe try thread basting? Sorry I can’t be any better help

[@maureendeacon7113]

Oh dear......keep trying but seem to not be able to get all sides the same 😟😟😟😟😟

[@emmajonesvintagesewingbox]

Oh I’m sorry about that Maureen, they can be tricky. I’m sure you will get there
