I actually thought about taking all my videos down, as stopped quilting with my husbands health battle. But now I am considering picking it back up so I am glad that I didnt take it down. Maybe I'll film some good ones someday. I have a much better camera for sure!
Oh my gosh! What a wonderful tip about the repeats and buying a regular quarter yard vs fat quarter! I never thought about it before and would have been extremely frustrated and disappointed to start a piecing project and find I didn't have enough of the design part I wanted to make a complete piece. Yippee thank you!
Oooooh, man! I've been fussy cutting from the front, thread basting paper, and not having near as much fun as you have had! Thank you so much for this new way of looking at the process. Note to self: check the back of the print purchase...
Thanks for this terrific how to! I really enjoyed the clarity and fun of your process, and the loads of other tips and tricks- to see the fabric in it's component parts, while imagining the fabric going back together in totally different ways, use very sharp scissors, starch the fabric for clean lines as you fold. Can't wait to see what else you have on offer!
The colors really caught my eye and I had to check out your video. So, even though I don't sew, I'm going to do the same thing but out of printed paper and glue them down on a back ground. Thank you for your time to show this to us all!
OMG that is so great. You have shown me a whole new way at looking at fabric. I am so glad I stumbled upon your site. Thank you for your clear instructions. I just love it and can't wait to try this myself.
Thank you for this tutorial! It simplified the fussy cutting for me! I was just a wee bit intimidated to try it. but this makes it seem like a LOT of fun.. I've been addicted to the paper piecing for a while now, and i have to try this too!
Absolutely beautiful, it was rather dark as others have said, but your teaching, your art, your attitude.... magnificent! Thanks for sharing. So pretty.
Sandra Starritt Thank you Sandra. I have improved some since then at least. Encouraging comments like this make me want to share every day! I wish I could sew faster!!
Hi Debbie! Thank you. I promise more videos are coming. My husband is just so dog gone sick that I've not gotten to take time to film! I have a new studio and everything. Soon I hope!!
I didn't find it dark at all. Perhaps it their internet connection? Then again mine is in England so it is pretty sharp. When you have described your channel as Hillbilly Handiworks, what does that mean?
Thanks for your answer. All you need is a Lamp in the front area near your camra you will do just fine ! We want more of your How To's. There Great! :)
Yes I am thinking about buying a couple of nice lamps and a cool back drop. I have lots of tutes ready in my head...just the lighting and background have me kind of halted. I'll try to get over my hang up and get one filmed. LOL
I'm so excited to try to English paper piecing.. I want to design my own thou.. like a mandela.. I love your taste.. I'm new to all this.. not sure if you said. How do I get up design.. I think it will be fun
Of course this is a very old video and I've removed all my blog, but it used to be very much my thing to do! I loved designing. I let the fabric do what it wants :) its so fun to see how it comes together
Often people like to use the plastic templates. Then you can actually mark spots on the template to line it up each time. I don't have a bit of problem just using the paper pieces I sew with, but some might like to see it better. You could use vellum I bet.
Hi Ann! I am sorry I didn't show the "How" because of the other videos out there but I sure need to. Sadly my filming is at a halt lately because my husband keeps ending up in the hospital! Anyway, I would watch the video by Sue Daley that teaches HOW to paper piece. All one does is place them right sides together and whipstitch with a size 11 milliner. I prefer using Super Bobs thread..both the needles and the thread are available in my webstore. As for the papers, when you are all finished..as long as they are sewn on ALL sides, the papers can be just popped out! I'll try to video that soon :)
Hi. I know I'm late to the party on this but I just found your videos. They have been so informative. I have been EPPing for a while now but discovered new notions, tips, and techniques with your videos. Thank you for sharing your talents with us. Would you mind letting me know where you obtained the mat (with the zipper pouches) that is on your work surface in this video? I'd love to find out where to get one (or make it if it's a pattern). Thank you. Carol S
Copper Buttons I am trying to get back into my EPP game since a lot of life left me struggling to find sewing time. So maybe I'll make some. More videos eventually but that life thing is still in the way for now. As for my mat...I've asked three different people to take my design and please make some for me to sell and after making the first, no one ever will !! It's highly frustrating. I think I have a good design there. I personally love mine. Soooo... maybe I should pursue that again too??
Thank you for your reply. It is a pain when life gets in the way (but we have loved ones and we all want to eat and have a roof over our heads) but sometimes sewing is important so that we can relax and regroup. I hope you are able to fit some sewing into your life again soon I love your videos but I understand they take time too. I love the design for the mat. For me it would be great for crafting (such as EPP, adult coloring-great pouches to hold the pencils while coloring) but others might use it for children to play on at a table while storing their small toys etc. I hope you decide to pursue it again in some way. Maybe make the pattern available to sell if you can't get anyone to make them for you.
I love ginghers. I always go back to them. I did learn a lesson. Do not take them camping. At least if you live in a high humidity region. They rust overnight.
Thanks so much for a great video. I've learned a ton. But, is it possible to have the camera facing you - as your hand covers your work. Thanks again - liked:)
I,, be updating at some point. My son and I are ready to but I'm just too busy with my husband in the hospital right now. Stay tuned and I'll get to it someday!
Hillbilly Handiworks thanks Tonya. As you know, everyone is working on POTC and I am always looking for new ways to do handwork. I am enjoying the sewing but I thought I would try some gluing.
I am sorry, I just saw your comment. There are so many hexagon quilt settings that you can do. I know I have been slow about videos but my husbands not been healthy at all. I will try to get a video of settings together soon for you!
I've never tried doing this and probably won't although I'm sure the end result is beautiful. Why use expensive designer fabric when you are just cutting holes into it? It seems to me like an awful waste of the fabric.
I'm sorry but could you please have better lighting in the start of your video? The other part had good lighting but the start was to dark. I love fabrics and miss seeing them.:)
This is the exact reason that I have not made new videos. I am trying to find someone to film professional videos in a studio, and as yet have not had any luck. Working on it though! sorry. :(
synthia l Gerritson I made this video a long time ago just as a person wanting to show my method, share it with my friends. I had NO idea how popular it would get, but in spite of the low budget, many have told me it really inspired them! If you will go to my channel, the newest video shows the same method., better lighting. Thank you.
So sad to see you are no longer on UA-cam but thank you for leaving these amazing videos
This video has been an eye opener for me. When you started to put the pieces together - wow!

Oh wow! I can do that and make my own paper templates like you did. Thank you
OMG that is so great. You have shown me a whole new way at looking at fabric. I am so glad I stumbled upon your site. Thank you for your clear instructions. I just love it and can't wait to try this myself.
I liked this video a lot; learning how to use different shapes in areas of fabric was really interesting and gave me new perspective. Thanks!
Sndnsea You are welcome, I hope to keep bringing more videos soon! So many ideas, so little time :)
AHHHH!!! Tanya! You have a YT Channel, YAAAY!!! SO happy! TFS! *HUUGS* and GORGEOUS Texas Alohas to ya! ^ _ ^

Love the video! You have a real eye for picking the fabric cuts!! It looks like fun. 🌻🌻🌻
Hi Debbie! Thank you. I promise more videos are coming. My husband is just so dog gone sick that I've not gotten to take time to film! I have a new studio and everything. Soon I hope!!

Thank you for this video! Very helpful for mirroring fabric cuts!
Tonya! Thanks for the ahhhhsome video! I've never used glue in my EPP. It is good to know you can reuse pieces! Thanks so much!
thx for sharing I hope your husband feels well soon I will be watching your tutorials and try some it looks awesome
Thank you, great teachings.💐
Thank you, this was years ago. I am thinking about coming back with better videos :)
Beautiful design🥰👏
Thank you!
Remember this video was done several years ago. I have an updated video with more lighting. Thanks!
Where is the updated video?
Very interesting & pretty.Thank you.
This is a great tutorial, and just what I was looking for! I could not figure out the best way to perfectly center that template.
+K Mitchell And I have a new updated one as well! Look through my channel and you will be able to find it :)
Very pretty and creative! Thank you :)
Bonnie Brannon thank you ! This is a really old video before glue got popular !
Thanks for your answer. All you need is a Lamp in the front area near your camra you will do just fine ! We want more of your How To's. There Great! :)
Yes I am thinking about buying a couple of nice lamps and a cool back drop. I have lots of tutes ready in my head...just the lighting and background have me kind of halted. I'll try to get over my hang up and get one filmed. LOL
Super video. Thank you.
I freaking love those glue sticks. I have to order me some. I see everyone on here using those.
Yes, they work so GOOD!
I'm so excited to try to English paper piecing.. I want to design my own thou.. like a mandela.. I love your taste.. I'm new to all this.. not sure if you said. How do I get up design.. I think it will be fun
Of course this is a very old video and I've removed all my blog, but it used to be very much my thing to do! I loved designing. I let the fabric do what it wants :) its so fun to see how it comes together
@@hillbillyhandiworks thank you for responding. I didn't think I'd hear from anyone seems it is a old video. Lol.
Chinga.. yes try it this way! Its so much fun!!
Wouldn't be easier to use some kind of transparent or semi transparent paper?
Often people like to use the plastic templates. Then you can actually mark spots on the template to line it up each time.
I don't have a bit of problem just using the paper pieces I sew with, but some might like to see it better.
You could use vellum I bet.
Yes, GLUE makes all the difference in the world!!!
Great video! Thank you for sharing! I really like the craft mat you're using, did you make it??
Awesome pattern. probably a beginner question. how do you sew them together and what happens to the paper?
Ann

There needs to be light when you hold pieces up. Can't see them well enough. A close up would be good too. Thanks for the video.
There is a newer video with more expensive equipment and better lighting. Thanks!
love it, love it! Thank you! Please what is the make of the sharp scissors you use?
I love ginghers. I always go back to them. I did learn a lesson. Do not take them camping. At least if you live in a high humidity region. They rust overnight.
You have inspired me.
+Rose Garcia Thank you Rose, that is what I like to do best!
Join the Mystahhhry Along with Hillbilly group, you will see lots of inspiration there!
I can see this video is forever old
Good presentation. However, the spotlight seems to be behind you, not on the work that you show. My screen does not show up the shown parts very well.
that is beautiful
thank you for sharing with us
+karen williams You are welcome! I love LOVE to share :)
What is the brand of glue pen you are using?
Elise, I never even saw this! Have you tried it yet?
How do I get the paper patterns.. I’d love to try it
Please, what's the next step re putting together and sewing...I am new to this. Is there a follow up to this awesome first step
I have a much newer videos out that show more steps!
I hope to film more in the future but can't at the moment.
Thanks so much for a great video. I've learned a ton. But, is it possible to have the camera facing you - as your hand covers your work. Thanks again - liked:)
I,, be updating at some point. My son and I are ready to but I'm just too busy with my husband in the hospital right now. Stay tuned and I'll get to it someday!
No, not yet. I'm still a wuss about it!! I did finish my 1/4" hexie project though!
Awesome!!!
boddokito Thanks. I actually show more of this quilt on my newest video :)
Hillbilly Handiworks Hillbilly Quilt Shop
Cant see the designs, they are in the shaddow
رائع
Would this method work for Lucy Boston POTC?
Hi Victoria!!
Yes it most certainly would!! It will work for any shape at all, and get some border fabric :)
Hillbilly Handiworks thanks Tonya. As you know, everyone is working on POTC and I am always looking for new ways to do handwork. I am enjoying the sewing but I thought I would try some gluing.
of course
what you do with them after worth
I am sorry, I just saw your comment. There are so many hexagon quilt settings that you can do. I know I have been slow about videos but my husbands not been healthy at all. I will try to get a video of settings together soon for you!

Have you tried it Hope?
Please adjust camera angle so we see fabric, not your hand!
Please note the pinned comment that there is a better video .
Also this was years and years ago
Need better lighting on your fabric.
This was YEARS ago. It was updated with better lighting as stated several times lol
Poor video, can't see what you really trying to show.
