When I was younger I felt the same way about hand sewing but now that I'm much, much, much older I find it relaxing to my over active mind. I like your method and look forward to seeing how it will be as you finish it. Happy Holidays to you and your family!!!
It’s truly therapeutic for me and I look forward to it😍
GREAT VIDEO ROB. I HAVE ALWAYS AVOIDED EPP HEXIES BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO DO HAND SEWING. THIS IS GREAT.
THIS IS THE DAY BEFORE THANKSGIVING, AND MY HEAT WENT OUT, AND WE ARE EXPECTING VERY COLD WEATHER. HOWEVER, I AM GRATEFUL FOR SHELTER, MY ANIMALS , MY SEWING, AND MY GOD.
I love this idea Rob! I can see multiple benefits to using the interfacing! After you get the hexagon seems done and the batting laid down you could iron it in place eliminating the pins or using it for another stable layer for quilting!
Love the technique I have been doing it by hand! Luv this more
I also am a EPPer by hand. I will definitely give it a try to see what is what. The connecting procedure in how you manipulate the hexes to join them for your pattern to evolve is just about the same as hand EPP. Quite clever. My hat is off to you.
Not only do I love your technique but I also love your colors. I might try this now. I am not a sew by hand girl. Thank you
I wasn't either till a month ago. Kate Jackson and her hexagons. I now have 2 paper punches,large blue danish butter cookie tin full of cut hexies, a very reduced in size bag of paper recyclables and almost 700 covered and basteds.🎉 It happened so fast...... I still hate hand sewing on everything else, mending and such. But this? I love it. The whole darn process is just so darn soothing, calming. Don't knock it til you've finished your first flower.😉🤣❤ by the way.....im 60, working on my FIRST quilt.🎉
I think this is perfection because even when you hand-sew you still have manipulation. So I will make a machine pillow using this technique. I love it and it is original. So creative and fun.
I love this! I have an unfinished hexie quilt for which I will use this technique…one day…😂
This is genius. It's still time consuming but wow🤩.
I DO A LOT OF COLLAGE QUILTING WITH EMILY TAYLOR, AND THIS IS SO GOOD OF YOU TO TEACH US THESE METHODS.
Have always loved this quilt. Like hand sewing the only problem I had was getting them to match when I folded each. Thank you it will be beautiful when finished.
I love this idea and pattern. I think the design, on a much larger scale and only a section of the pattern, to use large scale fabrics. Kaffe Fassett Designs and Tula Pink designs would be perfect.
Rob your project is gorgeous
Wow great idea !
Love this. Thank you
Love this as an alternative to hand piecing! Hexies are measured by the sides though. A 3" hexie would have each of its edges be 3" long.
You can also connect these by top stitching with a zigzag stitch. EPP doesn't have a "seam allowance" because the pieces are whip stitched edge-to-edge.
Thank you makes paper piecing look easy
I'm thankful for you this Thanksgiving and I'm thankful for your stream and I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and holidays be safe and be well ✌️🙃✌️🙃
Have you thought about using wash away stabilizer instead of this stabilizer?
Can you zigzag stitch the hexagons together from the right side and avoid raised seams? I would use clear thread. I think if that will work, it would make the project even easier. I will try this on a small project.
yes you can. I'm using the zigzag method on a quilt now and it's fun. I also don't like hand sewing. I zig zag on the right side using a matching or semi matching thread and a narrow zigzag. when you stand back you can hardly see the zig zags and I imagine they will get lost in the quilting later.
Thanks. I’m looking forward to trying it out. I really like your tutorials. You simplify quilting and make it fun.
Have you tested other kind of stiching ? Like a small/close zigzag or hemming stich ? The zigzag, small and narrow , seams to me like a stich that would flatten more like the real stich . ?? But i'm with you in trying a mechanical way to assemble them.
Can you lay each row butted up together and then use a zig zag stitch with the machine to join the rows together.
Ingenious method! Love your colors and quilt design! Do you sew completely to the edge of each seam? As opposed to hand sewing, you would stop a quarter inch away from edge. Thank you!
What kind of thread are you using, and what color?
If u were as old as I am u would know it a zipper foot before invisible zippers were available. U could sew the one side of the zipper then change the zipper foot for the other side. So u would have equal pressure on each side of the zipper. It would aloud u to sew the zipper in going the same direction. The zipper would look good and lay better. Thank you for this video I didn’t want to do paper piecing because of all the hand work. I think I will try🦩
I have been laid up for 2 months and I made a ton of epp flowers. I am now at the point where I started putting them together into a quilt top but Im having issues where I need a little more background in certain spots because they arent lining up as I expected them to. I trued to find a pattern but could not find one. Did you make your own pattern Rob?
What size are your hexagons love to try this way love your videos Rob
I just stumbled upon your video channel today.
You are slightly reducing the size of the hex when sewing the seam on one edge of the hex. I was perplexed as to this size difference when attaching segments but then realized as the assembly continues, all edges of the hex are eventually sewn which reduces them all down to the same sewn size after having been sewn.
I recognize there is a lot of time required to accurately cut out the fusible as well as fabric shapes. Are you using another tool to speed up and accomplish this repetitive task? I am thinking something like the Cricut maker 3 machine?
The quilts you create are beautiful!
Maybe you shared this in a different video, but I didn’t see it. Did you cut all of the hexies by hand, or did you find a die?
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
Love the technique, and love the colors and pattern. Are you going to put together a fabric bundle with your design, and sell it? I’d love to reserve a bundle for myself if you’re doing that. Your fabric choices are always great, but I especially love this set. I want to make this quilt for myself. It is stunning! Thanx for your tutorials; I always learn something new 😃
Did you use an AccuQuilt to cut all these shapes out?
When I throw this quilt in the dryer - won't it get unintended wrinkles? Maybe not with the quilting (sandwich)...trying to get my head around the glue dots facing out.
Would the quilt be able to go into the dyer? Will the interfacing stick to the batting from the heat of the dryer? I’m confused
the interfacing would probably fuse to the batting, but that wouldn't hurt anything, it would be inside the quilt, which would already be quilted at that point, so you wouldn't even notice 😜
❤❤❤
I think it’s probably quicker by hand as making the hexagons is so much quicker with paper than using the iron and interfacing. It’s too easy to iron across the interfacing as it’s so thin and soft. I’m old and can’t sew by hand really quickly.
Everyone will love this quilt. However, I am worried about that interfacing. Could you have used 1/4 inch strips of the interfacing instead of the full hexagon shape? I have not tried this your way. It looks like a great way to burn your fingers. I do mine on cheap copy paper (that I have made thicker with freezer paper) by hand. No, I have not tried the glue basting methods. I have used my flowers as appliques to fill in the large empty fields of the Double Wedding Ring pattern. I always work with left over scraps when English paper piecing.
Do you have hexie graph paper?,!? If so, could you reveal where to get it, PLEASE!!!
Google "free hexagon graph paper" tons out there
I spy "Captain Caveman"!!!! LOL
Why not use interfacing with mo glue? You can press that!
I think it’s really interesting but I think it would make me frustrated trying to do all those little seams.
