EPP- hexagons

Just s few pics to show you how I sew and prepare my hexagons. I like to use the Sewline glue pen on my papers. I hold the hexagons together with a wonderclip as I sew. I also use wonder clips to hold batches of hexies together ready to take with me  to  sew.

More of Sarah pre fused bear. Sarah is approx 11" tall and is ready to be pressed to background fabric and stitched. A reminder that no guarantees can be made for identical bears to be made as I often use pieces left over from my quilts. $15.00 per bear- hand drawn, cut and assembled by ne.

Head start - "take it and go stitch" - everything you need including instructions to make the sewing bag. No pattern.

English paper piecing tip for newbies

Firstly, I am reasonably new to English paper piecing, so many of you will know far more than me, but some folk are new to it and have asked  how I go about it. 

 No template ? 

Just a little tip for cutting shapes for epp. 

Pic 1. I have four layers of fabrics. I stapled the paper template through the layers. 

Pic 2. I used my rotary cutter lining up 1/4" seam allowance to make  the straight cuts.

Pic 3. I then used scissors to cut the curve. 

Now all ready for glueing ( or tacking if you prefer).
