Sue, this is my first time to view your video for English paper piecing. Elegant.

Oh thank you!

I really like to use silk thread for hand piecing. There is sooo many hours and work that goes into the blocks/quilt, that I feel it’s worth the price to use silk. And, silk goes through fabric soooo easily with little or no tangles =)

What a helpful overview of tools and techniques for EPP. Thank so much, Sue Daley!

Thank you for this neat intro to English paper piecing! You have piqued my interest....

Thanks a million for your demo! I really like your method of sewing these papers. Your work looks so neat! That's what I want to achieve.

First video I’ve watched on English paper piecing. Thanks for such a thorough video.

Travelling the thread is genius …thank you 😮

Thank you! I’m just starting and that was very helpful!!

Nice clear instructions - I'm about to go on a lap of Australia with my husband and son and was looking for something to take with me that was easy and didn't need a lot of supplies! Thanks Sue

Oh thank you so much for this very informative video!

Love the glue pen method! I am going to buy this- it is going to save me so much time

Thanks Sue!

I am so excited to try this

Hi Sue I've started mine I'm new at this you make it look so ez

Enjoyed learned alot

This helps so much thank you!

Thank you soooo much for this ❤️❤️

Very helpful. Thank you

Thanks a lot, so helpful ‼️😊🇨🇱

Cthank you for your tips they will be useful for me.

Watching your quick hands as you fold over the edges- so graceful! Thank you for having such a lovely tutorial. I am a paraeducator for a special needs child and she is chronically late for school- I have about an hour in the morning to spend before she gets to school and this method seems like a lovely way to spend my time

Thank you! I'm glad you find my method helpful.

Great introduction. Probably the most clear I've seen in my search for "how to". Thank you.

Thank you!

Thanks for the detailed explanation! Very neat work! And please tell me about your design board.

Thanks for this vid, I love it. 😁 FYI, the link in the description needs a quick fix. I did find your site, though.

Hi Sue, may I ask where you got your beautiful pink jacket ? It's just lovely!

Hi is there anywhere in the uk supplies your items ? X lovely tutorial x

Is there any other shape of paper piecing besides the hexagon? Thank you for explaining all.

Sue I bought one of your Abbie's Dresden patterns and I have a question. Is it better to sew each piece from the center out, or sew each one separately and then put them together. I'm about halfway done with my first one doing them individually, and I'm having a lot of trouble lining them up correctly and dealing with the tails. Are the tails easier to deal with if you do the whole thing from the center out? I'm worried that they don't look like they're going to go together very well when I'm done. Thanks for any help you can offer.

For the knicker knot and the two stitches at the points are you going through the same hole/stitch or just right beside the first one.

could you demonstrate how to use the acrylic template to do the quilting?

It’s such a shame we cannot get your tools in the UK

Sue I always have frayed edges on a big quilt do you starch your fabric first

How do you do the quilter's knot?

Hi sue, could you tell me what color of bottom line thread you use to do the paper piecing? Thank you very much, waiting for your answer, Chandra

I’m glad you mentioned how sore your thumb and wrist can get. I’m using your needles but my thumb and wrist are so sore and I’m now using a brace. I would appreciate your tips on preventing this. I will try the clips. Hopefully that will help.

I definitely recommend giving the clips a go! I hope it allows you to continue to enjoy sewing.

This is a bit late but this is what I did in this circumstance having watched Dr Eric Berg KZread vids. Using the fingers of you other hand firmly press up the front of the forearm and if necessary up your upper arm. You will probably find just below your elbow joint you will go 'ouch'. Stay in that area and firmly pressing move in little circles for 2-3 minutes, Do that 2 or 3 times a day, after 3 days you should notice the pain in your forearm has gone. Better still the pain in your thmb and wrist have gone. I am knitting, crocheting and sewing pain free. Its worth a try.

Also, Tula Pink comments in her EPP video on how she holds her hands in the least stressful way. And has a link to those purple magnetic clips.

Such a new fan to this waiting on my supplies. Went to go to your website and it says page not found. What were the recommended needles. Thank you so much for sharing Kelly USA ohio

I recommend using my Sue Daley Milliners needles, size 11 or 15 are my favourite. Try an 11 first and see how you go.

If you were going to appliqué the flower down onto another fabric would you remove the outer hexie papers? I’m very new to this. Very helpful video. Thank you.

Hi Sue. Thanks 🙏 But, do you DOUBLE the thread. OR sew a SINGLE strand? 🌷

@nankc1

4 жыл бұрын

single

what weight of thread do you use?

Knicker knot? How do you have 2 strand and one strand with a single strand line? Please explain that here or in a separate tutorial.

No one ever replies to queries on this channel. Annoying.

When you stitch two together are you taking those stitches through fabric and the paper?

@esthermcafee5293

Ann Pylinski Just the fabric. There’s a tiny ‘lip’ where the fabric folds over the paper template.

Has anyone tried using fine fishing line or invisible thread for their project?

Instructions are nice, however.....white thread impossible to see! Maybe using a contrast?

What size hexagon paper would you use on a 2.5 inch strip?

@germansheph5890

Жыл бұрын

1 inch hexagons are 2 inches in width which will leave you with 1/4 seam allowance if you're using 2.5 inch strips

Hmmm it looks like no one replies to any queries ☹️

The link for supplies is no longer working. Please let me know what kind of needles you use. Thank you.

So sorry the link was broken, the needles used at Sue Daley Milliners. They are available in different sizes. You can find out more here www.busyfingerspatchwork.com/collections/accessories/products/sue-daley-milliners-needles

When you go on Pinterest, there are ladies who have 500 or 1000 hexagon all basted in a box. Why?? Me, if I want a flower, I do my 7 hexagons and sew them. Is there an advantage to have so much hexies in a box?? I don’t understand the reason to have so much!! Help?

There is no right or wrong way. I like to jump straight in however I have friends who like to do all their preparation before they start sewing. The only way that matters is the way you like to do it and if you prefer to jump straight in, then you do it that way. I like to see some progress so I prepare a little and sew a little, then prepare some more. =)

The link to purchase doesn’t work

paper allows to you create with shapes that ordinarily either isn't possible or are hard to piece together without. Of course if you're traditionally hand piecing then that is a different technique altogether.

I need to not use soooo much glue

No real sense in showing you stitch if the camera doesn’t get in close.😒

Thank you for your feedback. This video in particular isn't about stitching however it is to show my Glue Pen method but thank you.

The glue pen is too messy and frustrating as it fails and the paper pops out at the worst times. Thank you very much, but myself I will stick to thread basting . It or the cheaper Elmers version is, however good for a quick swipe on the back of the paper to tack it down while thread basting. Its way too expensive as well. Not every quilter lives in the suburbs in a ranch style house with a big yard. Tried it and you can keep your overpriced glue sticks. Me, I will buy Elmer's and just swipe the back of the paper to keep it in place. You guys waste your money on this and I will drink a beer on the money I save. And buy another fat quarter or jelly roll.
