EPP IS DEFINITELY ADDICTIVE! I’m glad the bug bit you you’ll never be tired of EPP
I love EPP. I made a charm quilt using half hexes. They were finished 1" by 1/2". There were 3500 pieces in the top. It was all by hand. I did have it machine quilted because of all the seams. All the quilts i made were all by hand, quilting also.
Wow!!
I love the idea of having another evening project while watching a movie at home! I don't like to sit and just stare at the screen. I usually embroider or crochet, but adding a sewing project to the mix is a wonderful idea!!
Hi! Just joined. I love your video. I have been doing epp for about 6 months off and on with other quilting projects. My current is the Tula Nova. I think I picked a tough first project. But, I’m loving epp. Thanks for so much great info.
I never thought I would be interested in EPP until I saw the tutorial by Tula Pink last night and how she makes those amazing designs. I’m so excited to see your tutorials on how to get started, and your using Tula products, too. Ha, I need to buy some glasses … one of the reason I haven’t enjoyed hand sewing. I’ve learned so much from your tutorials. Thank you!! It looks like you have done well with your business and marketing. Congratulations on your successful company, Erica.
I don't usually make comments but today I will! Your enthusiasm for everything you do is contagious! I KNOW I can do anything you teach, because you make me believe I can. You are a great teacher and absolutely adorable. Thank you for all the free tutorials you do, the beautiful fabric choices which I try and copy, and the wonderful projects you come up with.
Very happy to see that you’re enjoying EPP! I’ve been doing EPP for a little over a year. Here’s some things I’ve learned: Elmer’s glue purple stick works fine and is super cheap, however I don’t totally glue baste. I use a swipe to hold my template on and then I sew baste, and totally love that part. I use mostly hedges, currently working on a 3/4 inch hexie quilt, and I punch my own with a Fiskars punch. Old calendars are nice to use. When I first started I was using a Milliners needles, since then I use a John James #10 Goldeye.
Enjoy, EPP is super relaxing! I have already made my cat a little quilt and now working on a smaller one for myself. 😊
Great tips thanks!
Just the video I needed! Not a fan of hand-sewing, but I have decided to give EPP a try. Thank you for your help, Erica!
I love EPP! I learned it before machine piecing but I’m pretty new at it all. EPP is much more relaxing!
Conditioning thread with a quick run through a piece of beeswax prevents thread tangling.
OK so now I am intrigued and I gotta wait for the next video????? Ugh I am so impatient (haha). Can't wait!! Thanks Erica
I just started EPP! I love it! It is relaxing and pretty. I like that I can take it anywhere. I love that you are doing videos on this. I am with you the 50 wt thread is better for me too.
I am so glad you did this tutorial on EPP. I was afraid to try it but you explain it very well. I am really eager to see Part 2.
I have also thought EPP was to much to get into. I am interested to see parts 2 & 3. I have learned a lot from you, you also make projects look easy.
I also suggest people go to Etsy and look for EPP kits. I got a cute bee one. It’s currently a UFO. I think I’m going to work on it and try to finish it now. Thanks for sharing!
I like the idea of using scrap bits and no particular pattern, but I think I might try the suggestion of ordering a kit from Etsy, just to try it… The idea of all that thinking through a design and color plan, and purchasing special material for it….kind of hurts my head!🥴🤣
Edited to add:I also use the gray thread that Kate from homely house channel uses as I never know what color I will grab or what item of clothing from grandkids or myself will die a clothing use death!…Also I watched a guy’s video ( Dave’s craft room?)… where he used all sorts of fabrics from his trips around the world for work and bought fabric from every trip for a fabulous memory quilt 👍)
I always wanted to learn EPP! Thank you!
So glad you are doing tutorials on EPP. It’s something I always wanted to try. Thanks!
Hi Erica - I love making hexi flowers. They are so much fun and relaxing to do. I eventually want to make a Grandmothers Flower Garden quilt. For now, I’m just enjoying making each little flower. I’m making a new crossbody bag that I’m adding a hexi flower to the outside.
I also use that glue and I love it. Looking forward to your next videos on EPP. Your Tula quilt is looking gorgeous. Enjoy stitching! 💕🧵
I make he is while watching TV. Have made several Henie flowers to make a grandmothers flower garden, but appliquéing the flowers on background squares, then sewing the squares together.
Can't wait to see more! I tried to do EPP last year and didn't enjoy it. I think I missed out on technique so I'm excited about the series!
Oh my goodness, Erica, I got turned on to EPP last year. Purchased my supplies, but have yet to start a project. Haven't been quite sure how to chose fabric and pattern. I'm so glad you're doing this little series. Thank you so much! Once again, you're SO talented and helpful! Thank you!!
Nice job Erica with explaining the supplies and the steps to get started. I enjoy your style of instruction .. 👏👏
This is wonderful I so interested in this craft. I will be watching for video 2 and 3
Try this for the first time and love it. Made a pillow.
Thank you Erica. This looks like fun especially when you can carry it along with you. I am going to try this before I invest $'s into it. 😀
I LOVE EPP! So glad the bug bit you ❤️
Your Craft-to-go case is amazing! I love mine! Such a great pattern to follow, will definitely be making a couple more! Absolute must for EPP on the go! Thank you!
So timely!! I just stated EPP now too!!! Great video!
I’m so excited for this series! I’ve dabbled in EPP a little bit, but I find myself never knowing what to make with the sewn hexagons.
Amazing!!! Always wanted to try EPP… think with you “holding my hand” I will try it! Thanks Erica! Be safe!
Thanks for the tutorial Erica. I have never tried EPP. Might have to buy a small pack of paper and try. Look forward to your other tutorials. See you next time.
Buying the paper pieces precut is the best way to save frustrations.
I agree!
Oh my goodness! I LOVE this & looking forward to next tutorial ! And that project bag !!! I just gotta make that too!
Bought all my supplies! I can’t wait for the next tutorial ❤️
I’ve made one, very relaxing.
Love it! Have you watched Emma Jones? She is delightful (as are you!) and does some wonderful EPP.
I haven’t I’ll check her out thanks!
Just love your videos! I love EPP for all the reasons you described - your tips are spot in and just love the way you suggest key supplies and provide links to make it easy to get them! Excited to see your next video in this 3 video series!!!!
Thank you so much!
Cathedral windows are pretty cool too
I’ve done some hexies and it is addictive. But I’m excited for these videos as I know I’ll learn something!! Thanks
Great video and very timely for me. I've just started EPP but I use the iron on templates from Hugs n kisses. They are probably more challenging for a beginner than the card stock templates but I figure if I learn with these, then I will improve and get used to them. Thanks for another interesting and informative tutorial.
Great tutorial. Thanks for posting!
This looks like my kind of new hobby! Can wait to see part 2!
I meant can’t wait! How have I never heard of Pam Kitty Morning fabric? I learn so much from you!
It's an older line, and I'm not sure she continued to design so i've been hoarding it :)
This is a great video! Thank you 🙏 It looks like so much fun 🤗
Thank you Erica 😊 I love EPP ❤️ I am doing a Grandmother's Flower garden in pastels. I too purchased Tulas pattern and templates. Haven't started that one yet. Would love to make that cute little case you have. It's perfect for EPP.
Can’t wait to get started.❤️
Many many Thanks for this video.
There are some great little EPP starter kits available on ETSY. Mine came in a cute little plastic bin with all of the supplies and Liberty of London fabric!
Hi Erica! Thank you for this tutorial! One more craft project to add to my list. Can you tell me where I would be able to purchase the heart shaped sewtites?
Great video. Thank you.
Going to tag along..looks fun👍
Fabulous
Hi Erica! I recently started cross stitching at night because I like busy work while I watch tv. After your beginner cross stitch videos I had the confidence I needed to start! Now you are making EPP beginner friendly and contagious! Will you be making patterns? Maybe for beginner friendly smaller projects? I really love all of your patterns!
Oh goodness, maybe, I think I need more practice first :) But thank you for the vote of confidence!
I’ve been EPP for a while now and have noted:
I no longer use Aurafil cotton thread, it snaps way too easily. I recommend using a poly 60+ thread, it doesn’t snap and is thinner which means you see less on the front.
Spend the extra money on the Sewline glue sticks, I tried Fons &Pot and it is far too hard to work with.
Thanks for the tip!
I love EPP.
Dang it, now I wanna try EPP! 😁
LOL! Give it a try!
If you marry your thread it won’t tangle, also it doesn’t come off the needle. When I learned that trick it was a game changer. I prefer the 80 wt .
okay, what does "marry your thread" mean :)
I bought a 1" fiskars hexie punch its a game changer i use all the postcard and ads that come in the mail kinda of recycling especially during election time so much perfect flyers there about $12.00 cheaper with a coupon
Erica - I just found your epp #1 video. I'm just starting to try epp and wondered if you can use batting (cut to shape) next to the fabric and then add the cardboard shape on top before gluing the fabric down? I want to make a small quilt and figure that when all ready, I could just remove the cardboard shape and add a backing. Would this work?
Hmmm...I've never done it that way, but I suppose you could? But I'm thinking it might make the piece a little bulky and maybe even wonky with the extra bulk in there? I would try it on something small and see if it works.
I love all the material you use. May I ask where you get the material? Thank you!
I purchased my Pam Kitty fabric on Etsy a few years ago :) My favorite online places are FQS bit.ly/2B6rzS8 Etsy, or www.catchingstitches.com
Where can I find your quilt shirt? I didn't see it in the links above
Hi! Thanks you can find them here erica-arndt.creator-spring.com
Can you tell me what size hexie papers you’re using?
Erica, could you explain how you measure each shape of EPP.
Hi Pat, what do you mean measure each shape? I don't really measure anything, I just use the pattern templates to cut them. They all sew together perfectly when you use a pattern like that.
@@erica_arndt
I mean do we measure a side, like an inch or 2 inches? How do we know what size a hexi is?
@@erica_arndt
I know those Hexi’s come in different sizes. How do you know what size? Where on the Hexi do you measure??
@@patandrews6963 i believe it's the sides you measure
I’m looking to get the Tula Nova pattern. I have to buy fabric for it. Would buying a fat quarter bundle work? That way I’ll get enough fabric for it all.
Yes, I think a FQ bundle is fine, I've been using my stash so far, so I'm just guessing. Then you'll need more for the background.
I sew baste my hexes and never remove the basting stitches. Should I be doing that?
I don’t think it matters as long as you can’t see them from the front.
Remove them if you can see them from the front, if it's only on the back, then no need to remove.
I love your top. Where is it from?
erica-arndt.creator-spring.com
where did you purchase the Tula Pink templates in a box?
Fat Quarter Shop :) bit.ly/2B6rzS8
Question. I accidentally bought "hand quilting thread." It doesn't work on my machine. Would it work on EPP? I see I need other colors I well. I didn't know orange versus green spool color and weight. Good tip.
Too thick for EPP
You could try thread basting instead of glue basting. Hand quilting thread would be nice for thread basting hexagons (EPP basting is when you temporarily attach the fabric to the paper)
Oh and many people use multiple color threads but many don’t. You can generally use a beige/grey for light fabrics and a brownish grey for dark fabrics. Aurifil moon dust in 50 weight is my current favorite for sewing medium to light color fabrics for EPP.
I'm sorry, that would be too thick for EPP. I usually use that for hand-quilting as an accent on my quilts, or just some decorative stitching around the outside of a small piece like in this video: ruclips.net/video/-AjZzL2Cx08/видео.html
Well i was never interested in in EPP until i watched this. I may have to give it a go. I still can’t figure out how you talk so fast!

Sorry, I need to figure out how to do that.
