Very much appreciated ❤ I don't know what wild hare got up my butt, but I decided to do hexagons for my first quilt 😂 this is going to be a crucial help
Thank you so much! I have a quilt that is more then 40 years in the making. The story is my hubbys Mom started this quilt years ago, but never finished. So I’ve decided it was time to finish, hence we’ve been married 31 years. I stored it away in a cedar chest, and got inspired to finish, but didn’t even know how? This for me is a BIG undertaking, as I have never hand stitched or attempted to make a quilt, EVER ! I know it’s not going to be perfect ,but at least finished. Your tutorial helped me understand about , so a BIG thank you.
For someone who has always handsewn hexagons, you have encouraged me to think about machine sewing hexagons, which I've always been nervous about tackling. Thank you for a lovely tutorial ❤
Updating my previous comment...you are a genius. Making hatch marks on the hexagon corners is much more effective than a dot, & it has made sewing my 17 inch hexies so easy !!
I looked at this on my design wall for 2 days deciding hexie placement & then found your video. Am assuming same technique will work for 120 degree inserts on the sides. Thanks again.
Thank you thank you i to have just started to learn and im very intimidated by hexagons but you have made it so easy thank you will be starting my first
Thank you so much for your hexagon quilt clip. I have had some fantastic fabric for a hexagon quilt top but didn't have the confidence to start it. Thanks to you and your give it a go attitude, plus the very clear clip. I have started mine. Very happy. Thank you
I came across this video and realized I have a box full of hand sewn flowers made from the hexi and I now see how to do it by machine, so I can now add all my flowers together. freeing up another box of needed projects to be finished . Thank you
Thank you! Very helpful. I am making three little quilts for my triplet great grand babies due this summer. Their mom is a beekeeper so I’m using hexies to make them look like honeycomb. I’ve not done hexies before so I’m glad I found this tutorial!
Yes! You are so right!! It did feel really good stretching myself out of my "comfort" zone and accomplishing a quilt that I had been intimidated to try :) Thanks for watching and the awesome feedback!
There are certain things I refuse to attempt in sewing and hexies are one of them. To me the headache is simply not worth it, but you Lisa will overcome anything!
This is a fantastic tutorial. Thank you for your detailed and to the point instructions. I had a friend pick which quilt she liked best. I was secretly hoping she wouldn't pick the hexagon quilt...well, she did! And I was like, "Oh boy! 😬" Now after watching this video, I think I can do it for her. Thanks again!
I loved the way Lisa explained this technique. I felt that some of the other clips on TH-cam missed stages which aren't obvious to us beginners with lots of non specific 'chatter'. Thanks Lisa, I'm off to practise now !
This was so helpful . Thank you ! I decided to cut larger hexis so it's easier to draw and see the 1/4 inch seam line. I never thought to do that . Draw the seam line. That's gonna make this so much easier.
You have definitely inspired me to have a go at this Lisa. I have started to use freezer paper and PVA glue for applique since watching you. I love your sweet self deprecating teaching. Have confidence in yourself Lisa. You are an excellent teacher. Hello from England!
After taking years off between quilts, and my next attempt being a Hexie chicken wire quilt, this video reminded me of skills long forgotten, thanks for the refresher!
This is wonderful! I only did hexagons with EPP. Now I can use my scraps to make a quilt using the acrylic shapes. Thank you for doing the work and tackling the seams!
I really appreciate the simple yet detailed instructions and tips in this video. I’ve made a few quilts, but I’m by no means experienced at it, and your tutorial gave me the confidence to create a hexagon quilt pattern for a baby blanket as a gift. It is slow going, but the end result is really cool!
Thank you you made it very clear on how to do this. I had cut out blocks to make a queen size quilt. Didn’t realize I needed help to put them together, so now I have learned something new from you. Thanks again for sharing.
this was very helpful, wish I had seen this about a week ago when I was making a small topper, Believe it or not it ended up in the trash. As I said this was so very helpful!! Thank You
I used this video to make my hexagon backing for my wall hanging for my sister. Here’s my picture. Thank you Lisa! It worked GREAT! I could not add a picture. So sorry.
My first quilt top was PPE and all by hand. Hexagonal pieces added up to 4,444 pieces doublebed. Sadly I lost my quilt top 😔 😞 😢 😕 but now I am going to do another one. I am so excited to have found this 😍 video. Thanks for your help 👍 🙂 🙏 😊
Wonderful tutorial -- your patience with sewing the hexies is very calming -- I look forward to making a quilt like yours. Thank you so much for showing us how this can be done !!! I look forward to any of your future tutorials -- you're a great teacher!!
Never made a quilt before...but started with a hexagon quilt!! But i did it all by hand!! Using paper inside!! It was a lot of work..but i am very happy how it turned out!! Now i have to put a a filler and back to it!!
Hello lovely Lisa I really learned a lot from your fabulous tutorial. I love hexagons but have always made a mess of them, now I understand why. You explain everything so clearly and make things easy to understand. I am sure your client will be thrilled with their quilt, it is so obvious that you put a lot of thought and love into all of your memory quilts. Have a wonderful weekend Lisa, sending you warmest hugs and loves xxxxxxxDorothy 🙋🏻😘❤️
I’ve decided to start quilting, and somehow I decided my first quilt would be a hexagon one, without realising the difficulty of the seams, thank you for making such a comprehensive and beginner friendly video on this
Very helpful. I’ve just started quilting ... haven’t even finished one yet. I would love to try this too. I like the hexagon quilts with bees on them 😊
Thank you for this! I chose a hexagon quilt for my very first quilting project! It was only after cutting a million little hexagons that I realized I had no idea how to sew them!
Warmest greetings from Cape Town, South Africa. What an absolutely well-presented tutorial. It so helped me do this the right way the first time! Not yet close to making a quilt, but I am using hexagons to make some very interesting-looking tote bags!
Thank you for this video I am just about to embark on a hexagon quilt and was worried about the joining it together, but with your clear and helpful tips I feel much more confident to tackle it thank you
Thanks for this video. I have wanted to try making a hexagon quilt. Absolutely no experience, but experienced with a lot of other crafts. Your video went a long way to explaining the do's and don'ts. I will hopefully share a picture eventually when I get to make this.
I bought a patchwork magazine with precut hexagons but had no idea how to sew them together. I thought there was going to be a basic guide at the back like my crochet mags, but no.., so thank you for teaching me what my magazine didn't. Thank you very juch
Thank you for this awesome video. I am making a 1 inch hexagon quilt. I have done a bunch of it by EPP. But it take so long to do one flower. I will see if I can try it this way. Thanks again for sharing your time with all of us. ❤️❤️❤️
Great tutorial, thank you. I have just done an English paper pieced cushion cover that took for everrrrrrrr! I told myself the next one will be done by machine. I’m going to give this a go because I just also purchased a hexagon templates. Thanks once again.
Thank you Lisa! I received a bunch of hexies from a friend who passed away and wanted to turn them into a baby quilt for charity. Of course, I had no idea how to do it by machine - I'd done a grandmother's flower garden by hand but wasn't about to do that with these large ones! You made it very easy, thank you! When I'm done I'll send a pic.
Nice job but I will continue to hand sew all my hexies. I prefer EPP for hexagons. This would drive me to trash the project so I'm happy you have the patience for this tedious machine sewing. ❤❤
I basted my hexagons on a piece of paper and then sewed two together (face to face_) with a tiny whip stitch on the back and do constructed my quilt this way. I printed the hexagons (1 1/2 " across) on paper from my computer I am almost done and it is all done by hand. Not difficult but time consuming. And BEAUTIFUL~!~!
Jedi is probably my favorite old pattern for a quilt. I have never done one, though. This is a great video and I will try one now. Tfs. You did a great job of teaching the technique. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Very much appreciated ❤ I don't know what wild hare got up my butt, but I decided to do hexagons for my first quilt 😂 this is going to be a crucial help
Now I will try hexagons. I was putting off doing one until I watched your video.
Me too! I loved Lisa's video!
Am a 40 year quilter. Your video is the best I ever saw So easy to follow and understand.
Wow, this is such a compliment, thank you so much!

Love you too.
Lisa, this is a very nice tutorial. Thank you. I have learned lots.
I'm so glad this was helpful for you Lila!
Love your attitude.
Nice job but I will continue to hand sew all my hexies. I prefer EPP for hexagons. This would drive me to trash the project so I'm happy you have the patience for this tedious machine sewing. ❤❤
Thank you so much! I was so nervous to quilt a hexagon quilt cause I couldn't wrap my head around it. This video helped a ton!
I'm so glad this video was helpful! If I can do it....YOU can do it :)
Well done tutorial. You have a delightful, infectious laugh.
Thank you so much Deborah!

Excellent tutorial on sewing hexagons by machine. This is going to be an awesome memory quilt.
Very helpful, thank you.❤
You’re welcome 😊
And a very wonderful Pi-day to you too! Excellent tutorial, step by step!
Bonnie Lee. Thanks Bonnie ♡♡♡
I basted my hexagons on a piece of paper and then sewed two together (face to face_) with a tiny whip stitch on the back and do constructed my quilt this way. I printed the hexagons (1 1/2 " across) on paper from my computer I am almost done and it is all done by hand. Not difficult but time consuming. And BEAUTIFUL~!~!
I imagine it IS beautiful :)
I have had hexies cut out on my design board for more than 2 years! Thank you for encouraging me to get back to it!
You can do it!
Jedi is probably my favorite old pattern for a quilt. I have never done one, though. This is a great video and I will try one now. Tfs. You did a great job of teaching the technique. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I will have a go at this. The only hexi I have done was by hand sewing. This looks much easier. Thanks
one of these days I'm going to attempt hand sewing hexi's!!! I'm much better at sewing with a machine hahaa
