Tip: draw round your template for as many pieces you wish to cut out, then you can cut them out all in one go (adding seam allowance) and it speeds up the process as no need for pinning. Lovely to see hand basting, it's just as quick as glue, looks after the corners, and allows for quick paper template removal after. If you have the pieces flat-edged together rather than the whole piece front to front, then whip stitch flat you will never get a joining stitch showing on the front and it makes joining sections to larger projects very easy.

If you use a hole punch on the paper hexi, you can pin inside the hole to hold your fabric to the paper. Makes it easy to remove the paper also.

Left hander checking in with what I figured out from my hexie fun: in this video she appears to go counter-clockwise so I reversed that and went clock-wise and had success or what I am considering success for my first try. I also had less stabbing from the pin(s) when I pinned from the top of the fabric while worked on the back. YMMV.

I use a wonder chip to hold the fabric as I stitch around the hexie paper while moving the clip.. Pins tend to bow the paper, and skews the hexie on me.

I see this is an older video but if you are still answering comments, can you tell me where you got your storage box? I’ve been searching for one like this and I can’t find one that has this configuration.

I begun EPP some 6 months ago? And I prepared 7 hexies needed for my flower. But I saw some ladies, like the ones in your plastic box, who have a lot of hexies basted. Do you prepare all your hexies and when you decides that you want to sew a flower, you choose in your box the hexies needed?? What is the advantage?? Thanks for your answer.

Your hexie demonstration is so very helpful and I actually think I could do them after watching your video.
