I would love to learn more about fuzzy cuttings

Thank you for the most helpful info...

I wonder if steam would help release some of the tougher glue areas, especially those using washable school glue? Something I’ll try next time. I also use a tool- the “purple thang” tool is great for opening up points that are glued to bury threads, and helping get between paper and fabric to break up the glue line or pop up the paper when I’m done.

After trying to make a stencil with plastic place mats… this is by far so much easier 😂

German here, and working on a King size EPP hexagon quilt, for several years now... I tend to loose interest in it, sew something else for a change. Then grab some scraps, hexagon cardbord templates, thread and off we go to vacation, where I usually sew up all I take along! And at home it gets added to what I already have sewn (so far a bit more than Queen size) I only use Gütermann thread, it is by far the best.

Yes please

Great video! Visually so helpful. Blossom is wonderful too, looking forward to having more time soon to join in the Hexie of the Month - the last one was GORGEOUS!

As a visual, audio and tactile learner, so my suggestion is to number & label your tips label, on the screen, so I can take a screenshot for my private A.D.D brain to process this information. Please and thank you.

Thanks for showing in every details how to make epp work I really love the way you explain til he end I really love to see more of your videos like these 👍❤

Does it help to spray a little water on the paper to pull the threads thru?

Where do you get the scissor from? And the fabrics? Thank you

Just new to EPP, so i found this video very informative. One question i have is how often should you use a new needle?

Thank you for the Templates.xx

I purchased a punch & i use my junk mail and old holiday cards.

Can I still get it

I like the glue Method it will save me alot of time. Thank you for your videos

This was one of the best English paper piecing videos I’ve seen so far. Thank you

I'm new to EPP and so far, have simply experimented with shapes, threads and needles. I starred with 50 wt Aurifil, and thought I was doing pretty well... until I tried the 80 wt Deco-Bob. What a difference! My stitches nearly disappeared into the fabric and the seams feel thinner. At first it felt like I was trying to stitch with spiderweb, and I had terrible problems with tangling. When I started using thread conditioner, it felt much more manegable and I had almost no tangles. At that point I decided to try a different needle. At the advice of a lady from the quilt shop, I bought some tiny binding needles. They sewed nicely, but the eye was so small that I had real problems threading it. I switched to an Appliqué needle, which has a larger eye. I'm using the smallest one in the pack, which I think is size 10, which is working beautifully. Then I made one more change. I was finding that I kept dropping my needle, so I decided to see if I could simply tie that 80 wt thread to the needle itself. I threaded it, then tied two knots, leaving a 3-4-inch tail. Surprisingly, it went right through the fabric, not catching at all! My frustration level has completely disappeared. The thread barely shows, handles well without tangling, and I no longer lose the needle. All I have to do now is improve my basting skill. I started with a 2" hexie, moved to a 1" hexie, and now am working on a fairly complex star. I need to improve my glue basting at the ends of those long skinny points, and then I'll be ready to start a quilt! Thank you for your videos. I've watched several and found them quite helpful. I need you try changing the angle of my stitching to reduce hand strain. That's the kind of thing you can only learn from someone with experience. Thx again!

How thick is the paper?

So lovely

I loved 5 the best

Thank you so much for this series. I’m just getting started and this was the perfect way to see if EPP is for me. I do like it and now I’ve learned the trick for threading a needle (only took 60 years for me to hear about this!) and also the quilter’s knot and now the different stitches. Thanks!

The polkadots help it stand out the others are a little busy

I liked numbers 3 and 5 the best.

I thought I knew about needles but having watched your video I realise I don't. Thank you for the excellent information. I have to admit that until now I just used the needle with the biggest eye as my eyesight is not so good

I am a new be to EPP and have learned so much from your videos. Thank you so much. Greatly appreciated 😊

So interesting and I love it. How great. Thank you so much.😊

You are incredible, this is wonderful information.

Do use do useBOHIN needles sharps #9 works better good. Quilting I use BOHIN between big eye # 10. They tiny but work really well. I have use many different thread and needles. This gives me better info on buying in future. But so far BOHIN France needles are so easy thru the fabric. Thank for the info, am always up to better and easier ways to get the sewing done best results.

It looks very interesting, and I like different. I love the old stuff don’t get me wrong. I really love all kinds of quilts. I really love civil war quilts, hexagons,many, many others. New designs would be refreshing. How fun would that be. You go girl. 😊

Prayers are with you and your husband for sure. Hoping it will get better soon. Just stop and breathe as much as you can. It will get better. Bless you both.

Love to see it. Would be nice to see you with the Gild. Very interesting. Yea that would be great. Congratulations that’s awesome. You deserve it. You are very creative person very well. Well put together..😊

Very helpful removing papers.😊

Thank you that is so cute , can’t wait to try this as well I love the flower and butterfly. Well done.😊

I have done all the basting by hand. What was I thinking, I don’t mind it , but it will be faster if I glue. So I will try it next time I do some hexagons. Which will be soon, I find it so relaxing. For a while, then I have go to another project for a break from the routine. I like doing hexagons when am T V or setting in a doctor’s office if am stitching them together. Just starting watching and I love it. You are really good at teaching, I can fellow with no problems. 😊

I use Aurifil 100 cotton 50/2 I’m not sure why I took a quilters recommendation. I only trouble I have is that it does catch on and curls up and it doesn’t stay straight very very well so I know what I’ve got to do now get an 80 white thread. Thanks for all your help. I do appreciate it very much.😊

Curves terrify me Janie!

I am a new member, and a "Before" Beginner EPP as I am just now doing research into what and how to EPP. Thus how I found your channel. It does not matter to me when a video is posted as long as it has the complete information for that video! I usually watch and re-watch a video as needed to learn what I went to the channel/video to learn. You are an excellent teacher and your videos are well edited!!

Excellent tutorial! I need a needle threader too.

You are a great teacher

I don’t mind when information is from. Many RUclips videos I watch can be from a year or more ago, on catch-up. Best wishes to you.

This is a a concise and very informative hand needle sewing tutorial or video. I wish I had had it many years ago. I have been quilting,mostly hand quilting for 40 yrs. There is not much I could add to this video of yours which is extremely well done. And I even enjoyed listening to the easy way you teach. I would recommend this video highly to anybody starting to do any kind of hand stitching which now is being called slow stitching, which I'm laughing at.... It's funny how they have to take something old and give it a new name to make it sound current... The only thing I would say is your sewing needle is your best friend for hand sewing and not too cheap out on buying good quality needles. The few cents or dollar that you would save will not compensate the aggravation you'll have with cheap needles that have burrs and snags and are badly made that you buy at the dollar store.. It could make or break your sewing experience. Especially if it's your first time... Thank you so much for making this wonderful video. I Have just found you and I am enjoying going through all of your videos. I mostly hand stitch even for quilting. Applique has been my favorite with spatterings of embroidery and beadwork added in for texture.... EPP has been my latest obsession And it fills my time in the evening when I'm tired after work, but still feel the need to do some stitching!... I Just have to say that you are fantastic. I will definitely be passing on your videos to others I know!🎉❤much Thanks!

Thank you so much for the free templates!!❤️👍

I’m not really into EPP. I have a current EPP quilt I’m making, and I enjoy the sewing, but I hate the whole basting/prep part of EPP. So many little papers and they Always get all bent up which makes them so tricky for me to reuse! I really do love the calm of hand stitching though, and have fallen in love with hand piecing (aka running stitch- no papers) and I find the EPP patterns work so well for hand piecing…. Hence why I watch so many of your videos 😅 Tonight I went down a rabbit hole with your snippet videos and I have already ordered some! I love improve piecing on my machine so much, and I think I’ll be able to use all my little Jen kingwell templates to make some fun scrappy little quilts. Thank you SO much for sharing all about this. I would really love it if you did more videos on the projects you make from your scrappy bags. Scrappy projects are definitely my favorite ❤

Awesomeness.. Beautymous... Amazing Janie... ❤️❤️🌹🌹👍✌️☮️

❤😊 absolutely gorgeous. Stunning! Great job 👍 beautiful ❤️
