Thank you for giving me permission to use a sewing machine to stitch a GFG quilt! I've been hand stitching those darn flowers for years! I'm slow due to arthritis...and distractions! Now I can see that it looks really cute to do it by machine too! Great video! I appreciate the precision with which you do your tutorials and projects.

Thank you for getting right to the point without useless chatter and wasting our time. Additionally, thank you that you don't have hideous "music" blaring in the background, and last but not least, thank you that your videos don't move in fast motion. You explain each step slowly, and thoroughly, in greatly detail and I truly appreciate that. While we're at it I love your hair, my style is quite similar to yours.

Kim, I like the stitchy look, and yes, I would not want to take the time to hand sew those hexies. Thanks for another excellent instructional video.

I love this idea, I also started hexagons many years ago, since my hexagons are already together I think I will take your idea and sew the entire flower on to a background using your method. Thank you again for sharing.

I had the same thought! I already have ~20 flowers constructed by hand but now I have this new idea for finishing the top. Good luck with your project!

i appreciate this! i’ve done the hand stitching but developed tendinitis and arthritis and can’t hand stitch as much anymore 😢 Thank you for this; now i’ll be able to still make these hexagon projects! They’re soooo much fun!! 😊

Love your hexies❤ so simple

Never made hexies because I do NOT like to hand sew! This is an excellent option and I think the stitchy look is attractive. BTW, your hair is so cute!!

Thank you so much for this video. I have been putting off doing the hexy quilt started around 2005. Mine was suppose to be hand stitched also, some are but this is going to be sooo much faster.

I do like to sew them by hand using vintage fabrics but am limited by the stress on my hands so this is a option. Rather than glue I think I will try the iron on quilt batting to give them a puffy look. I think I will use a bright contrasting color thread to be a part of the design.

Do a circle 8 all around. Then no need for cutting.

This looks lovely but I enjoy sewing my hexis by hand while watching a movie

Yes, hand stitched only. 🧵

@Arleners123 4 жыл бұрын

I haven't worked anything out yet, but I wonder if fusible thread might be able to be worked into this technique?

@Chatterboxquilts 4 жыл бұрын

You could use that to hold the pieces down but would still have to stitch them down with another type of thread.
