That snowflake is so adorable I'm thinking you can make Christmas ornaments
I love viewing your tutorials. Such an inspiration for me.
For the 70 years I have been sewing I have never seen a knot done like that. Love it. Thanks for the great video.
Jeanette I recently bought papers and a hexagon but it’s a 2” one but I’m going to give it a go. I love the idea of using up the scraps I also have a 1” hexagon but I don’t have the papers for it and it’s small for me. I look forward to using my 2” hexagon pieces in ways you’ve shown on here and other videos thank you so much for the introduction to paper piecing.❤😊
great video - thank you. will definitely give this ago!
What a great way to knot when hand sewing. That's new for me. Thanks for sharing.
Thankyou you have helped me alot what to do with my scraps❤
You are so creative, Jeanette! The snowflakes are adorable!!!
I learned so much, thank you.
Another great video tutorial. I use wonder clips/binding clips to hold my EPP pieces together when joining them and when basting my fabric to the templates. I find that it reduces tension and cramping in my hand.
Thank you ❤
Great. Video thank you Jeanette. I love the snow flakes 😊
Love making hexagons. Love the snowflakes.
This was great inspiration! Thank you for sharing ❤
I love your snowflakes. I filled my advent calendar with an EPP project for a cushion front. Off to have a look in my stash for hexi templates. Thankyou and best wishes for 2024
The ❄️ hexagon is stunning ❤❤❤
Thank you for this lesson. I put my EPP away a few years ago not really knowing what I was doing. Now, I'm able to see the missteps I made and can really work on a project, especially as I have a cutting machine as well to precisely cut papers. Thanks again for the fresh start! 😊
Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely beautiful
That is a different knot ,great idea. Love your projects ❤
Thank you! Merry Christmas!

Not a quilter, but when your video came up I watched anyway. Wondering what happens to paper when washed
Another great video. I'm just about to give Epp a try so this was a timely tutorial.
Never heard of paper piecing. I'm about to learn how to do this.
I have attempted EPP, but so far, I haven't been very successful. Watching your tutorials, I may try again someday. You make it seem easier than other videos i have watched. Those snowflakes were super cute. I enjoy watching and listening to you. You are so calming, and I learn something in the process. Your channel has become my favorite for quilting.

Hello, Jeanette said she leaves all the papers in until she's ready to use them in the final project. She then snips the tacking thread and take the papers out, either all at once or as she goes if doing appliqué. The piece then gets backed like a normal quilt, with wadding and fabric.
What do you do with the paper behind the hexagons? If you leave them in, isn’t it crunchy?

Hello! You take the paper out before you add the wadding + backing.
I had a friend give me a small bag of hexies and have been wondering how to do the process. This video was very helpful. But, do you leave the paper pieces in there ? If not, how do you remove them? Thank you for the help...your projects are beautiful. Do you have patterns for them?

I leave the paper pieces in until the very last minute. It helps to keep the fabric stable. Only once I've finished & I'm ready to start making the sandwich do I take the papers out.

There is a channel on YT called The Last Homely House, Kate does a lot of EPP, including a quilt for her grand-daughter. She has lots of videos for beginners including when & how to take the papers out.

Hi Darlene. You can edit the ‘playback speed’ if you’d rather.
