For the 70 years I have been sewing I have never seen a knot done like that. Love it. Thanks for the great video.
I love viewing your tutorials. Such an inspiration for me.
That snowflake is so adorable I'm thinking you can make Christmas ornaments
Jeanette I recently bought papers and a hexagon but it’s a 2” one but I’m going to give it a go. I love the idea of using up the scraps I also have a 1” hexagon but I don’t have the papers for it and it’s small for me. I look forward to using my 2” hexagon pieces in ways you’ve shown on here and other videos thank you so much for the introduction to paper piecing.❤😊
What a great way to knot when hand sewing. That's new for me. Thanks for sharing.
Another great video tutorial. I use wonder clips/binding clips to hold my EPP pieces together when joining them and when basting my fabric to the templates. I find that it reduces tension and cramping in my hand.
You are so creative, Jeanette! The snowflakes are adorable!!!
Thankyou you have helped me alot what to do with my scraps❤
I learned so much, thank you.
great video - thank you. will definitely give this ago!
Great. Video thank you Jeanette. I love the snow flakes 😊
I love your snowflakes. I filled my advent calendar with an EPP project for a cushion front.
Off to have a look in my stash for hexi templates.
Thankyou and best wishes for 2024
Thank you ❤
Love making hexagons. Love the snowflakes.
Thank you for this lesson. I put my EPP away a few years ago not really knowing what I was doing. Now, I'm able to see the missteps I made and can really work on a project, especially as I have a cutting machine as well to precisely cut papers. Thanks again for the fresh start! 😊
The ❄️ hexagon is stunning ❤❤❤
That is a different knot ,great idea. Love your projects ❤
This was great inspiration! Thank you for sharing ❤
Never heard of paper piecing.
I'm about to learn how to do this.
I want to thank you for sharing your time and talents. Many wonderful ideas. Your video was most informative. Thank you so much for sharing. 😀❤️
Great video I love your snowflakes. I am going to do this. 🥰⛄️
Thanks for another great video. Always so clear with heaps of tips!
I have attempted EPP, but so far, I haven't been very successful. Watching your tutorials, I may try again someday. You make it seem easier than other videos i have watched. Those snowflakes were super cute. I enjoy watching and listening to you. You are so calming, and I learn something in the process. Your channel has become my favorite for quilting.
Hello Angela, Thanks so much for the kind words. Means a lot. Hope you've had a good Christmas and have a wonderful new year.
What a great way of using up scraps. Thanks for the inspirations. Merry Christmas 🎄
A very interesting video. Love those little hexagons 😍, and your bags and snowflakes. Thank you for sharing and Merry Christmas for you all. ❤️🎄
Another great video! Merry Christmas to everyone at the Sewing Room!
Not a quilter, but when your video came up I watched anyway. Wondering what happens to paper when washed
I love doing EPP never done any with scraps ,can't wait to try this 😁✂️
Thank you! Merry Christmas!
Thank you for sharing.
I think I’ve seen those Sew Easy acrylic hex templates in Hobbycraft.
Another great video. I'm just about to give Epp a try so this was a timely tutorial.
Absolutely beautiful
I am new to this technique and it was very interesting and very informative.. but u left i part out ...how do u cover the back of u r project when do u take out the paper?
Hello,
Jeanette said she leaves all the papers in until she's ready to use them in the final project. She then snips the tacking thread and take the papers out, either all at once or as she goes if doing appliqué. The piece then gets backed like a normal quilt, with wadding and fabric.
What size needle do you use?
What do you do with the paper behind the hexagons? If you leave them in, isn’t it crunchy?
Hello! You take the paper out before you add the wadding + backing.
I had a friend give me a small bag of hexies and have been wondering how to do the process. This video was very helpful. But, do you leave the paper pieces in there ? If not, how do you remove them? Thank you for the help...your projects are beautiful. Do you have patterns for them?
I leave the paper pieces in until the very last minute. It helps to keep the fabric stable. Only once I've finished & I'm ready to start making the sandwich do I take the papers out.
@@expatpiskie I think I have a lot to learn on English paper piecing before I start a project. I am still s little confused on how you remove them
There is a channel on YT called The Last Homely House, Kate does a lot of EPP, including a quilt for her grand-daughter. She has lots of videos for beginners including when & how to take the papers out.
@@expatpiskie thank you so much. Is yt a channel outside of the US? What does the initials abbreviated for..Merry Christmas to you Sue
Oops. Yt is you tube...lol
how and when do you get the paper out?

Good video but you talk so darn fast. Is there anyway you can slow down???
Hi Darlene. You can edit the ‘playback speed’ if you’d rather.
