    Very much appreciated ❤ I don't know what wild hare got up my butt, but I decided to do hexagons for my first quilt 😂 this is going to be a crucial help

    Thank you so much for your hexagon quilt clip. I have had some fantastic fabric for a hexagon quilt top but didn't have the confidence to start it. Thanks to you and your give it a go attitude, plus the very clear clip. I have started mine. Very happy. Thank you

    Thank you so much! I have a quilt that is more then 40 years in the making. The story is my hubbys Mom started this quilt years ago, but never finished.
    So I’ve decided it was time to finish, hence we’ve been married 31 years. I stored it away in a cedar chest, and got inspired to finish, but didn’t even know how? This for me is a BIG undertaking, as I have never hand stitched or attempted to make a quilt, EVER ! I know it’s not going to be perfect ,but at least finished. Your tutorial helped me understand about , so a BIG thank you.

    Now I will try hexagons. I was putting off doing one until I watched your video.

    @susans2599 3 года назад +4

    Updating my previous comment...you are a genius. Making hatch marks on the hexagon corners is much more effective than a dot, & it has made sewing my 17 inch hexies so easy !!

    • @susans2599
      @susans2599 3 года назад

      I looked at this on my design wall for 2 days deciding hexie placement & then found your video. Am assuming same technique will work for 120 degree inserts on the sides. Thanks again.

    I came across this video and realized I have a box full of hand sewn flowers made from the hexi and I now see how to do it by machine, so I can now add all my flowers together. freeing up another box of needed projects to be finished . Thank you

    There are certain things I refuse to attempt in sewing and hexies are one of them. To me the headache is simply not worth it, but you Lisa will overcome anything!

    @junematthews2691 5 лет назад +5

    Thank you! Very helpful. I am making three little quilts for my triplet great grand babies due this summer. Their mom is a beekeeper so I’m using hexies to make them look like honeycomb. I’ve not done hexies before so I’m glad I found this tutorial!

  • @mdb7558
    @mdb7558 Год назад

    This is a fantastic tutorial. Thank you for your detailed and to the point instructions. I had a friend pick which quilt she liked best. I was secretly hoping she wouldn't pick the hexagon quilt...well, she did! And I was like, "Oh boy! 😬" Now after watching this video, I think I can do it for her. Thanks again!

    For someone who has always handsewn hexagons, you have encouraged me to think about machine sewing hexagons, which I've always been nervous about tackling. Thank you for a lovely tutorial ❤

    @deidreking4472 2 года назад +3

    This was so helpful . Thank you ! I decided to cut larger hexis so it's easier to draw and see the 1/4 inch seam line. I never thought to do that . Draw the seam line. That's gonna make this so much easier.

    @debnianwilliamson 6 лет назад +46

    I loved the way Lisa explained this technique. I felt that some of the other clips on RUclips missed stages which aren't obvious to us beginners with lots of non specific 'chatter'. Thanks Lisa, I'm off to practise now !

  • @athomson2129
    @athomson2129 4 года назад +1

    Thank you Lisa! I received a bunch of hexies from a friend who passed away and wanted to turn them into a baby quilt for charity. Of course, I had no idea how to do it by machine - I'd done a grandmother's flower garden by hand but wasn't about to do that with these large ones! You made it very easy, thank you! When I'm done I'll send a pic.

    I really appreciate the simple yet detailed instructions and tips in this video. I’ve made a few quilts, but I’m by no means experienced at it, and your tutorial gave me the confidence to create a hexagon quilt pattern for a baby blanket as a gift. It is slow going, but the end result is really cool!

    I bought a patchwork magazine with precut hexagons but had no idea how to sew them together. I thought there was going to be a basic guide at the back like my crochet mags, but no.., so thank you for teaching me what my magazine didn't. Thank you very juch

    @jeannetteleonard257 4 года назад +1

    Thank you so much for this tutorial. I bought a hexagon shape template on impulse as I thought it would make a nice change from straight squares, not realising how complicated it could get. Having watched your tutorial while sewing, it was easy to follow the steps and get it right first time! Those drawn lines make it so much neater. So glad I found this video.

You explain everything so clearly and make things easy to understand. I am sure your client will be thrilled with their quilt, it is so obvious that you put a lot of thought and love into all of your memory quilts.

  • @giselemartin7853
    @giselemartin7853 4 года назад

    I basted my hexagons on a piece of paper and then sewed two together (face to face_) with a tiny whip stitch on the back and do constructed my quilt this way. I printed the hexagons (1 1/2 " across) on paper from my computer I am almost done and it is all done by hand. Not difficult but time consuming. And BEAUTIFUL~!~!

I know about partial seams, so I thought I'd be sewing this thing up in a jiff...whew, Y seams are tricky, and this is NOT simple. Lol. Gonna try marking the 1/4" corners now. Thanks v. much for the tutorial! :)
