What happens to the paper??

[Imbz48]

@Imbz48 Sorry for the redundant question! If I had read further down I would have found my answer!! This is a great tutorial.

[MegaDustin10]

Thanks for the instructions they are great. One question - the paper and tucking cotton get removed at the end? Cheers

[thejaxcollection]

Yes, it does make the hexagons medallions thick - creating bulk and texture behind the hexagon and in the grand scheme extra warmth. Its a matter of personal preference - my personal view is that small hexagons do not need much quilting - I prefer to knot. If you are quilting larger hexagons you may prefer to have a 1cm seam allowance. Best to experiment with a small project to decide your preferred method. Hope this helps.

[sauceykat]

I'm just curious, because of the huge seam allowances on your hexagons, that makes them very thick. Doesn't this cause issues when you go to quilt them?

Hermoso tu tutorial para coser los exagonos , la forma de coser, lo busque en muchos lados y nada , no sabia como se podian unir pero ahora ya se, graciaspor enseñarlo muy bie, mis felicitaciones.

[Overactiveeyeball]

Thank you so much for this video. I'm a first time quilter and this is the first project I"m learning. I gave up at first because I didn't know how to sew the third hexagon on to the two hexagons I sewed together (not in a chain but the first way you had shown it). In the video, when you sewed the third hexagon in a cluster, you bent the third hexagon so that it would go edge to edge with the second hexagon sewn? Thank you again for a great video!

otimo muito bom

[oicor1910]

tengo una duda los hexagonos de la base de tela de que estan hechos parece carton o es un material que aqui en Mèxico llamamos pellon.

[thejaxcollection]

@oicor1910 - thanks for your message - having a little trouble in translation but the fabric used is glazed cotton chintz. . Thankyou for telling about pellon fabric - I have not heard of that before. hope this helps your answer - jax

what a lovely and educational vid!

i do not have a sewing machine so i would like to try this patchwork too..

i still have doubt, are those papers will stuck in the fabric forever or do we need to take them out? thanks!!

[thejaxcollection]

@kawaiiichigo - you take the papers out after you have finished your work. I have another video on this channel showing how and when to take papers out. Hope this helps - please email if you need further information Jax

[montrealstars60]

@thejaxcollection I was thinking the same thing in regards to the paper. I will definitely go check out that video. Thank you so so so much for showing this video, I truly enjoyed it.

@thejaxcollection i found the video! thank u so much! (^__^)

[TheJoeykelly1]

I learned quite a bit from just this short video..the use of stripes and also sewing in strips! Thank You!

[thejaxcollection]

@TheJoeykelly1 - thanks for comment - always appreciated. Jax x

[STCHSLUV]

Very nice demonstration! Thanks!

[thejaxcollection]

@STCHSLUV thankyou - pleased you enjoyed

[thejaxcollection]

@STCHSLUV = thankyou - pleased you enjoyed. Happy sewing x

[hypercalm]

I saw a friend making a quilt with hexagons and I cannot wait to get started! I'm so glad to have found this and your other demonstrations, to help me on my way. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and skill!

[Phillipf8]

Wow, Your Good And You Can Explain Very Clearly, I Like Your Work Your Working Over, Hope You Make Alot Of Good Patchwork!

[thejaxcollection]

@Phillipf8 - thanks for your message - pleased that you are enjoying this video clip.

[adisyanuar]

how long does it take to complete such patchwork? its really nice, though.

[thejaxcollection]

@adisyanuar - thanks for your message - very hard question to answer - the truth is once you start sewing and see your work growing, becomes very addictive and you want to sew at every opportunity. Planning the design and fabrics also takes time - hope this helps.

[adisyanuar]

@thejaxcollection well, i found that this takes time. lots of it, and i seem to have not much spare time to finish my patchwork. but i already started one, and will put much effort to finish it. I tried to make hexagons like yours, but with different kind of fabric. do you have any more pattern suggestions?

[strandedondebeach]

its a shame this video is so fuzzy. It would be v helpful if for the demonstration the threat was a contrasting colour to the fabric - just to help see the actual stitch size etc.

[thejaxcollection]

@strandedondebeach - thanks for your message, I will bear your comments in mind for future video clips. When I get a moment will create a video clip showing actual stitch size etc. Many people have enjoyed this clip and found it helpful, so I will not be removing it anytime soon.

[craftybearquilts]

Hi,

What is the link to your website. Do you have a video to show how to make the hexagons.

[belier1234]

Very nice and clear. I would like to know more about making a cushion cover -- does it need a lining or not? And what about using different fabrics in the same patchwork, for example silk and linen, or natural and synthetic fabrics? Thank you anyway for your great demonstration!

[shinypath]

I was looking for patchwork videos for beginners and I found yoru tutorial very helpful and clear.

I just want to know whats the paper you have inserted inside the cloth

Thnk you so much

Loving your tutorials

Your my favourite teacher

Keep them coming

[thejaxcollection]

Paper I use is 80 or 90gsm paper - if you are careful templates could be used more than once - hope this helps

Fantastic. You showed several techniques to make the work go faster. What a big help! I am working on my first hand pieced hexagon quilt. Wish I had seen this a few months ago, but it will help me from now on!!

[bozomahoney]

Windows Movie Maker is great, but I can't for the life of me "upload" it to anything....any hints?

[thejaxcollection]

sorry - its a techie question which I do not know the answer - how about searching computer tech on you tube.....

[thejaxcollection]

sorry I am not all that techie minded - perhaps you can find some advice on youtube?

[shmuzzio]
