I enjoy basting with the thread as you’re doing , it’s peaceful work.

Thank you 😊 for sharing your knowledge and time.

Thank you for sharing this way of cutting the Hexagon’s, I’ve just started cutting out my 2inch Hexagon’s with computer paper, using the card looks like a better method.

I'm big fan of your work....from pakistan

Great tips for basting hexagons. I actually enjoy covering the card with needle and thread, while watching tv.

Hi Julie, excellent video as usual. I find thread basting quicker and more efficient than glue, which I don’t use at all now. Kathy xxx

Another very instructive video...thanks Julie

I use cardstock from office supply. I use many punches and except for intricate ones they will cut the cardstock. Punches occasionally need lubrication and sharpening.wax paper and aluminum foil will achieve this. Well they really stick garage door lubrication spray works for this. I do have one question in stitch basting do you only go through fabric or also through your papers?

Thanks for sharing....they look amazing...thanks for sharing

Seems the glue would just undo the accuracy, the neatness, and the fun of making these!! I'll do as you do, center the hexie, wrap fabric around, and stitch as you go around. Done!☺️ I just use the scraps from cutting out my greeting card bases for my hexies. No waste from either hobby.😊

Thank you for your quick response. I will be going to spotlight just haven’t seen them there. Much appreciated.

Have you explored the heavier weights of photocopier card, which comes in reams? You can get printable card to make cards with. Years ago, I got the smaller hexagon template set and the triangle set from matilda's own, matching sizes in 1/2"? increments starting from 1/4". Made from ruler plastic. I am not sure they still do them. The papers are one size, the fabric uses one size up, this is better use of my fabric with the larger sizes. I find them easy to use with double stick, though I have not made an all one size quilt like you do. So far I have done smaller things, and I have ×50 2" pieced hexagon shapes, for my first quilt. I had to lay it aside while I had cancer treatment, but I will get back to it. I like 60 degree diamonds and half hexies too, they make up so many interesting shapes. The larger set can do background sizes to applique flowers onto etc. Placemats are lovely with the hexagon shape, or you can add other shapes to fill out the size. Some of the quilting ladies like cutting cards and fabric with a Cricut, my computer skills may let me down with that kind of thing, but it may be quicker and easy to cut bulk papers for you. I like your mouse pincushion. I hope you get the quilts you want to do finished as you want them done. All the best.

Hi Julie, thank you for this very helpful tutorial. Your quilts are beautiful! I'm just learning how to quilt. What size are the blocks of fabric you are using to baste around the paper pieces? Thanks:)

Thank you, know this is a year old video but just starting to EPP. Going to try thread base . Do you iron hexi after to get the folds crisp?.

Also I have found that much later than a few minutes, like days later the glue releases much easier. But I will try the thread basting.

Im in UK and lucky enough to have a Sizzix die cutter and hexagon dies, 100 hexagons can cost 5 GBP, 3\4 die cost 15 and can cut 24 - 48 hexagons per pass depending on thickness of paper or card even more half inch, I like thread basting, I was warned off using glue as it is temporary if you don't sew your hexies within a certain interval of time, don't know if its true but thread method good way to use up left over bobbin thread from sewing machine

Have you tried scrap book paper it works good for me 1 inch hexgons

Fiskar have life time warrantee with their product maybe you can contact them to see what they can do for you

Ms. Julie will you also be showing how to make your own quilt design.

love where do you get the hexie punch from

There is too much redundancy from video to video. Perhaps you could review all videos on this subject and edit them to result in one or two comprehensive offerings. I’ve picked up some good advice from you, but in a fractured way. Thanks .
