In today's video I am sharing some good habits I have gotten into which have helped me to work more quickly and without frustration, when it comes to me English Paper Piecing. I hope these ideas are helpful, for EPP and other crafts such as quilting, crochet and knitting.

The habit I’d like to share is as I get older my hands are giving me problems and get painful & sore. I find doing a few EPP pieces, the cutting, glue basting and sewing like a few together at a time is easier on my hands vs Repetition only one thing over and over is harder on me.

On cutting and basting, for hexagons (1” and larger for sure, maybe even smaller) I really, REALLY like to using squares. A 2.5” square is perfect for a 1” hexie and a 5” square is perfect for a 2” hexie. You have a little extra on the back, but you never have to worry about your seam allowance being too small and cutting out your fabric is quick, efficient, and stress-free with little waste (or hey, precut bundles if you roll that way 😉).

@wendywilson1736 2 ай бұрын

Same here!! Cutting the fabric around the template is what almost discouraged me from EPP and hexies. Then, watching someone's video, I thought, well why not!! I still pick up many other good tips from those that do like to cut their hexies like that, though. Since I only do big stitch quilting anymore, anyway, I don't have any trouble quilting with the extra fabric in the hexies. I tried it, with a finished shape and scrap batting & backing because it did make me wonder...I love being able to use leftover quilt squares that I just cut to size and put in my hexie basting box. Then I put the basted hexies in a divided box I found in the container area of our craft store. It has a shallow tray for scissors , needles, and my half empty bobbins I'm trying to empty. Good latches and a handle, on it, too.

@jackiemobley8529 Жыл бұрын

Great video, Emma. Yes, I'd like to see a video on how to make EPP more cost efficient. Thanks for asking. I couldn't tell by watching your video if you did this or not, but when I continuous sew from one seam to another, I slip my needle underneath the fabric from where I tied my knot to where I begin the new seam. This way the thread is hidden underneath the seam allowance. I love EPP!! It so relaxing.

I don't do that, I lay it on top, but that is a great tip Jackie, thank you! So glad you love EPP, thanks for watching

I have a hybrid baste lol, I have 5" squares of fabric , I cut these in to 4 then using a glue stick I put one dab of glue in the centre of the shape card , and Bob that on to the centre of the fabric , then I trim them when I have a pile of 100. Then I sit and stitch baste ,I do all of this whilst listening to you tube and peddling on my under dest step machine so I really multi task lol .

@wendywilson1736 2 ай бұрын

Hmmm, your idea of using your gluestick sounds intriguing. I use a Wonder clip to hold my fabric to the template while I baste around. But, gluestick may give me even more of a head start. I also use those sweet little clips to hold my hexies together while I stitch them together. It's amazing how that has reduced the achy-ness in my hands!! I tend to stitch about 1/16th of an inch together (a millimeter apart?), so my hand is rather stiff, soon. Or they were, till I started using the clips!

Thank you Emma, love the needle threaded tips. I will be getting one of the table threaders and making a hexi needle holder. One tip I was recently given was to use a "purple thing" to remove papers I had glued in. It really saved my fingers and stopped fabrics fraying.

@emmajonesvintagesewingbox Жыл бұрын

I have never heard of a purple thing, what is it? I am intrigued!

@yvonnephillips4680 Жыл бұрын

@@emmajonesvintagesewingbox sorry I spelt it incorrectly. It's "That Purple Thang" by Lyn Graves. It's purple and plastic. I had seen it used to push out corners, it has a 1/4 inch tip on one end and on the other a curved tip which is, perfect for sliding under the fabric and releasing it.

I have been working on a large hexi flower quilt for quite a while. I have found that breaking things up into smaller chunks has made it easier, and it feels like I am making more progress. For instance; I am using layer cakes for my fabrics, so I cut one whole layer cake at a time, then moved on to basting enough hexis to make the flowers for one row and sewed the flowers for that row. Once those flowers were done, I placed them into a baggie and did the next row of hexies and flowers. I am saving the rows to do all at once, but having them already planned and packaged together will save me time at the end, and it helps to be able to see the empty baggies and emptying basket indicating my progress.

Thank you for this video, Emma! It seems I've already been doing several timesavers ~ template cutting sessions, basting sessions, locking stitch at corners, continuous stitching. 🤗 (Basting a good bunch ahead also helps when I packing for a camping trip) Mine are all from scraps, and I baste a small square around each of my templates, which I cut on the ScanNCut, cutting a good quart-sized ziplock baggie full, so they are all accurate, taking that concern away.😊 ScanNCut has many basic shapes built in, so it's easy to find some that are good for EPP. I cut a batch of 1", for my quilt, and 3/4" and 1/2" for smaller projects, (and to use up smaller scraps!) I also remove the templates as I go. They are cut from cardstock, so I can get good firm edges to stitch against. But, it's amazing how much more they weigh, if I don't remove them as I go.
