How to Quilt as You Go using a sewing machine, and Daisy and Graces Quilt as You Go templates.

These are great templates. A wonderful way to use up those scraps of batting I have. If you fold over the edges in a counter-clockwise directions it makes the sewing easier as you are not running up against the open edge of the miter.

Received my templates yesterday. Today my sewing room is full of hexis. Even my granddaughter is joining in and we have two sewing machines humming. We are making an eye spy quilt. This will be a great stash buster.

I did these with hand stitching the binding. It was a great travel project. Love your beautiful fabric.

I always skip the pins... i use the purple Elmer's glue stick. Holds great, no pin holes in your fabric, very little (if any) shifting and it comes out on the wash.

Love this. Saw it on Missouri Quilt Tutorial and ordered the templates. Can hardly wait for them to arrive. You did a great job teaching this!! I'm in north Eastern Pennsylvania USA.🤗

I just love this template! Also, a fussy-cutter's dream. So much potential!

I just bought this quilt as you go hexagon template. I love it. I cut out some strips of fabric large enough for the big template and the strips the size for the inner batting and top fabric. I already had the magic pins and away I went. It's such good fun and relaxing into the bargain. I am going to join them all together with some of the invisible thread with a small zig zag on the machine. Hey presto, hexies in a hurry!!! Thank you Nicola, I'm one of your Australian customers.

Thank you for this great tutorial! I just bought the Magic pins because of you! I love them!!! I noticed that it was like a Fun & Done method. I don't have those templates, so I used my hexagon ruler and cut 6.5 inch hexagon for the back, and a 4.5 inch hexagon for the front. I then marked a one inch line on all 6 sides on the back on the larger hexagon. I then centered the batting, and the smaller hexagon . Pinned (with the Magic pins), pressed, and am ready to either hand stitch, or machine stitch.

I made a tree skirt for my Christmas tree using Nicola's technique. I sewed mine all by hand. It takes longer but the result is so much nicer. I used one Christmas charm pack and a few more from my stash and about a yard of green and red background fabric. I made the background hexies either green or red and arranged them so it is reversible with a green/red pattern on the back. To make the skirt I left one seam of the circle open to put it around the trunk of the tree. It is very unique. Love this technique! Thank you, Nickola.

Great tutorial. ❤ Love using these templates. I hand sew mine. I’ve also found that I can use all my bamboo and cotton batting scrap strips, as even if they are too narrow, they can be sewn together using the zigzag stitch method and used effectively. The soft batting gives a nice drape and is great for QAYG as it is not too stiff.

The video shooting on this is incredible! Thank you.

Hi Nicola, I received my template from you two days ago. You wrote me a nice note saying happy sewing. I’ve made three hexies and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, all puckered. I’ve just stuck it in a cupboard for now. Will watch lots of videos.

I've ordered my templates, saw MSQC tutorial and your live show with them this last week. Wow. Already got these pins which I prefer to glass head ones as finer- and iron proof is a bonus then. Can't wait to start some Hexies

[clombard]

Bought the hexie templates and "magic" pins! Can't wait to get started! Thank you Nicola!

Hi Nicola,
I received your parcel today and I loved the little note you left.

[sherryfaba]

Love your tutorial. Inspired me. Can't wait to try it.

[mtherne]

Love this idea. I’ve had iron over pins for years, they’re called glass head pins lol
