Ms Emma, I have been quilting my entire life, beginning with teachings from my grandmother. I love looking at quilting videos, but yours is the first where you show all the mistakes made as examples of what not to do. You are a good story teller of your craft and I know new quilters will appreciate your advice! Cheers!

Emma, if you punch a hole in the center of the paper shape,you can pop the paper out with a crochet hook!

@shirleyclick6968 Ай бұрын

@paulamadison3673 Do you punch the hole before attaching the fabric or after?

I haven't sewn for a while, had a stroke, not bad but I started to decorate, couldn't finish before end of summer. Now the winter months I have been sewing again, I love it so much. I found my Liberty cross stitch book and thought of your channel, such pretty delicate designs. I still have the EPPs that I made a while back think Ill have to check them over now :) Thank you for sharing the tips, so useful.

Hi Emma Jones. I love your video. Some points that kept me hooked on: your calm voice; no Quilt Police allowed; you have shown and spoke about your past mistakes (that’s how others can learn as well) and I was happy and sorry to see (😮) that you’ve stabbed you nail a couple of times. I am not alone. Have been doing some appliqué and stabbed my finger nail a couple of times 😊. Lovely video. Thanks for sharing. sorry long msg.

I got frustrated when my pieces weren't turning out nicely and now I know why. You covered all of the issues I was having and I so appreciate it! Now I will start again with much enjoyment instead of frustration. THANK YOU! 💖

I'm in the midst of a Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt and I began using fabric glue. I made every mistake you have mentioned, so I switched to thread basting and it is SO much easier. Also, there is a bit more forgiveness if my paper piece is just a tiny bit "off". All that being said, the glue method is a bit faster and " crisper", if you get it right. Thank you for these tips!

@warpedweft9004 Жыл бұрын

I never thought of gluing. Think I might cross that off my list of things to try now though, especially since glue and I have never been friends!

@blairseibert1778 Ай бұрын

Thank you for mentioning this. I am new to EPP. Waiting for my first kit. The KZfaq video for it showed thread basting. I worried it might be too difficult as the pieces are a bit larger than the small hexies shown on his channel. I also wondered whether it was just an old fashion way of doing the basting. You've convinced me it's worth trying. My hands hurt after a lot of hand work so having the fabric a little more pliable might be a good thing.

I'm very new to this, it is the first I've heard of this quilting technique. I'd like to try it, but am confused about exactly how to remove the paper pieces. I will look for other videos on this.

I absolutely love English paper piecing! I learned about this several years ago and have been sewing hexies for years. It is so fun and relaxing. I only use cotton thread and I love seeing the stitch work as you'd said. I print off full 8 1/2 x 11" grids of hexies and cut them with scissors. I also sometimes draw my own shapes from a template into used copy paper so as not to waste paper. Your tips were spot on and I also learned from you as well. I honestly didn't know there were so many different paper piecing shapes. Love it! I'm going to have to explore those shapes. Your work and fabric selections are beautiful and very inspiring.

I just ran into your program and I just love it. Your soothing voice was a big ❤️for me. I’m a quilter and embroider but I will give it a try on hexagon paper piecing…thank you from Texas, U.S.A.🥰🥰
