Perhaps, if I start on something small and less intimidating, I might be willing to venture into the realm of EPP and hand quilting.

It's so pretty!<br />Have you ever tried making the hexies using freezer paper... you print on the back "paper"side. You iron the seam allowance around each side onto the waxy side... that holds it in place! <br /><br />Susielegato1958https://www.blogger.com/profile/16208915102782088469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-515145418272771629.post-26852600385082104932014-08-10T17:11:49.913-05:002014-08-10T17:11:49.913-05:00Love it!

I never saw the like in hexies and it's beautiful. <br />For my part, I also baste my pieces before doing hand quilting to keep all the layers into place. Also, I find that using a hoop gives an extra help in maintaining the fabric flat.France Nadeau ❅ inspiration imagination creationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17984624117899878826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-515145418272771629.post-77808877918492018092014-08-04T20:50:12.105-05:002014-08-04T20:50:12.105-05:00Hi there.

Press down on the seam for a few seconds to fix the glue. Move onto the next edge and repeat. You can't glue all the edges first and then fold the fabric over; the glue dries very quickly. Remember it only needs to hold long enough for you to sew the pieces together, so the thinnest line of glue should be enough.Marlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13395982229464502358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-515145418272771629.post-30486808057811388652014-08-04T02:34:27.496-05:002014-08-04T02:34:27.496-05:00Love how you've quilted the hexies. I used to ...Love how you've quilted the hexies. I used to do a load of hand quilting but eyes not so good for it anymore. Like all quilting it's just practice. Don't over think it and as long as three quarters of your stitches go through to the back that's fine. Even though it's a small piece I would still have basted it by running a large running stitch through corner to corner and side to side. It stops it all moving as you are sewing xxGinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16302065755663279757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-515145418272771629.post-43814152581143305952014-08-02T00:37:30.759-05:002014-08-02T00:37:30.759-05:00No advice on the hand quilting (never tried it), b...No advice on the hand quilting (never tried it), but I love the colors!
