Love these colour combinations and the garden
I've not seen any sewist use liquid washable glue to hold their Hexie Pieces onto their final product. This is a neat Idea!! ❤ Thanks for sharing your Hexie techniques with us!! I'm so happy that I found your channel!! Thanks bunches!! And your quilt is looking AWESOMELY AMAZING!!! ♡♡♡♡
Just found your videos & am so inspired! I have just begun learning how to sew hexes & love your instructions. Thank you for sharing!!
Oh yay! Hexies are so darn fun☺️ Glad this could help you out!
Super cute project bag!! Love the fabrics you chose for the demo and the finished project.
I love the little bag you made. I have so many hexies made, but wasn't sure what to make. Love this!!
I have never seen EPP done like this before. Interesting. Thanks for sharing
Absolutely love the colors!
Merci pour ce tuto
Intéressant, surprenant, des hexagones collés. Le résultat est joli. Bonne continuation.
Cute pillow and bag idea.
Thank you!
So beautiful!!!
Love this idea!
Thank you for your tutorial! Great ideas. I have tote full of hexagon’s and want to make curtains but could not figure how to do! Thanks again!
Holy Moly, Miss Myra! I blink, and the next thing I know, you are on UA-cam! xoxo
Love this option of gluing the hexies right on the fabric! Would Aileen’s glue be too thick for that?
Watch out with friction markers- on light fabric all your lines will come back when cold I’ve heard. Great video
Thanks great video.
Watched your video today and thoroughly enjoyed it. I saw a quilt at a quilt show years ago that had over 10,000 hexies in it. I thought "I am going to make that." Needless to say it never happened but I do have lots of hexies that need a home. I am going to try your pillow and those bags were too cute.
10,000 hexies?! I can't even imagine...😆Would love to see what you end up doing with all of your hexies!
Frixion pens are not advisable for use on fabric- and that’s from the manufacturers themselves (Pilot). You can get “ghost lines” which reappear with cooler temperatures, as the chemicals in the ink stay in the fabric after you iron away the colour. And it doesn’t wash out (& your dryer can ‘bake in’ those lines). Just a friendly warning. Chalk is good, hera marker fold lines are best.
Cannot see the whole picture it is narrow
Oh my. Now I have Another hobby that I want to make.
If you use Hexiform Hexagons from UK it stays and is washable - no need to remove it. They come in various pre cut sizes and shapes or a sheet which you can use in your Sizzix or Cricut etc It is a game changer !
Doesn’t that make your hexies extremely stiff? Depends on the project, but I usually want my fabric projects to remain soft.
First time watching you ,subscribed to you ,never done hexes but want to try to do this,what are you making with these? Never to late to learn right ? I am 75,have sewen ,all my life.
Could you put that small white hexie on the material then, Your paper hexie on then baste it shut and still be able to get the paper out????
Hi, i would like to order this kit.How do i order this gardening kit from and how much please? Im in Australia 🇦🇺
I want to make a table runner like this, but I am also concerned about the edges after being washed. I thought of securing the back of the hexie with some vilene as I need the item to last.
That sounds a good idea - thanks
Do they stay secured around the edges after washing or is this finishing quilting (x's through the centers of the hexies) mostly for items you don't plan on washing? (Love the look!)
This is a great question! I haven't washed any of them yet...maybe I'll have to go wash one and then let you know! Great idea!🧡
@@janettepack7129 What happened please?
@@njame2137 I have washed my runners several times and they get a crinkled look and still look amazing! The hexies didn’t have any problems with fraying either. Give it a try!
How can I find that adorable gardening fabric? And coordinating
I have a couple of questions that I hope you can answer: 1) Have you washed your finished project to answer previous questions, whether the hexies hold up after laundering them? 2) Am I overlooking the links to the products that you mentioned in this video? Maybe you have since deleted the links? Nice ideas and tips, by the way. Thank you!
I wonder that too..
Hi
This is the first time iI see you
Have a question
Do you sew the hexies to the fabric ? I mean With festón Or Zig zag before you quilt It?
I glue them on the corners with applique glue and then as you quilt it, it stitches the hexies down.
You actually glue the hexie on and then top stitch it to the quilt sandwich.
What fabric line is that with the gardening theme? Very cute :)
It"s called joy of gardening, it's an older line. We have some still in the shop!
Corey Yoder with Moda has something very similar in her Spring Brook and a white on white collection
Super cute!!!!
Thank you! Such a fun project 💕
What glue you use?
pillow kit? I want one for my mom!
We have lots of kits in our shop! Here’s a link: simplestitchesfabricshop.com/collections/hexie-kits-and-supplies
How did you sew them on
Where did you purchase Hoxie papers from please ❤
Hexie lol
When do you sew. What if your hand stitching instead of machine
After you hand sew your hexies, you will glue them on and machine sew them to the background. Such a cool method!
I don't see any reason why we wouldn't be able to. I am working on a dolls Q. I have six flowers to attach. I think I'll hand baste it on the grid lines made with the Hera marker. I am doing this in an historical setting and we wouldn't have had glue. I imagine one would have to be very careful with your stitch length. I made one inch hexies with Roses on a white bkg. I'll use a very dark green skirt weight fabric in place of your white. I am not sure if it is necessary to use wadding and a backing. I'd turn over the edge with a small hem stitch or I could do a pillowcase (using the rose fab) and then turn an do a running stitch to finish it off. You have inspired me. Yes, the last homely house do come and sit on the line green sofa with my sister and I along with many other friends who stitch and love colour. Here in AB CAN @76.
If your hexis get "too" wrinkled... Ironing them with a dry iron really helps. 💖🌞🌵😷
I am really enjoying the he is thank you…..I am however trying to work out whether you have a runny nose and are sniffing or something else is creating that sound???
Seriously?
simplestitchesfabricshop.com/collections/hexie-kits-and-supplies
So you don’t stitch all sides down of each hexi’s???
Nope! Isn't that so cool? I have washed runners made with this technique and it washes up fantastic!
Thank you for your video. When you quilted the bag using a diagonal stitch through the hexagon, do you then go. Ack and hand stitch the outside edges of each hexagon? Or is it left open? I’m thinking of making a bed quilt with this design and wanted to know how you finish the hexagons. TIA
I don't go back and stitch them down, it is left "open" but it isn't going anywhere 😆 I would suggest giving it a try on a small piece before tackling a bed quilt. That would be AMAZING!
Did you do a quilt?
Please dont remove the paper u till after they have been sewn together. If you do they will not hold shape. The paper comes out easily after being sewn together
Why do u have the 1/8? Space in between the hexies-What and why- this space-u did not say
Unfortunately to many sniffles for me!
You guys are too much! I was so tuned in to this new idea that I never even noticed the sniffles until the comments. Can’t you just enjoy it?
Don't take the papers out until it's been joined on all sides.
VERY QUIET LOTS OF TROUBLE MAKING THE HEX.
I’m still on the hunt for a SEWING hexies tutorial. Every video I see uses glue. I don’t want a gluing tutorial. 😑
Kate over at The Last Homely House has some great thread basting videos. She has a playlist for Agnes’s quilt.
Inalso.find if you give the hexies a good press BEFORE removing the papers, they keep their shape even better. And if I plan to stich some together in a flower, diamond, groups of fours, threes, even 2s, or whatever, I will wait till that is put together, before I take ANY papers. out.
