This is the best tutorial I have viewed on you tube and various blogs. Your explanations are thorough, easy to understand, and your use of the playback with closer views was perfect. I wish I lived in Australia to attend a class with you as my teacher! You give details of the process that others miss. Thank you and thank you again!

@magdadewet4923 14 дней назад

Thanks for the nicker-knot!

@47stoneymaine 11 лет назад

I'm new to EPP, and this is an excellent tutorial, but I really would love to have seen your knickerknot as you did it. The camera was far away at that time. Perhaps you have some tutorials for rank beginners - LOL! Will look through your tutorials. Thank you!

@judicabanaw9002 3 года назад

Love your rings especially the claudaugh

@grimeldasnodpocket 9 лет назад

I tried the Bottom Line thread for the first time yesterday. Can confirm it was a pleasure to sew with. Thanks for the tip!

@amybarrick3187 11 лет назад

I can't wait to try the Knicker knot. I haven't been doing that and want to see how much it helps. Thanks so much.

@meesh1957 10 лет назад

Thank you, thank you! I'm in Alabama, I love EPP but I think there are very few people around the Huntsville area who EPP. You are my lifeline!

@barbarabadgett3114 8 лет назад

Interesting! I think I'll start a new design with English Paper Piecing . Thank you Sue Daley!

@janefairbrother1590 Год назад

Thankyou for explaining and showing this method so well Sue.

@glorioussonge7650 5 лет назад

I LOVE this! Now, I know how to get started! Thank you, Sue, for making this video!!!

@janetpalmer4249 4 года назад

This is the first video that I have watched that I finally have learned how to do a knicker-knot!! My EPP comes apart all the time and I know it is because my knots aren't holding. I wish I had found this long ago but yay for RU-vid!! (and Sue Daley!)

@joymahy6383 11 лет назад

Excellent Sue. I have piecing for quite a while but still learnt a few things from this video. Look forward to the next. Definately agree the glue pen and rotating mat make things so much quicker and easier.

@Pcake62 11 лет назад

So glad your doing these video's. Just started my first project and what great tips. Thank you Pam,

@montsemck3183 5 лет назад

Thanks so much. I learned a new way of stitching with you here

@Susanna550 11 лет назад

Excellent. So glad you are doing these videos Sue.

@buelanudge 9 лет назад

These are great! Thanks for your thorough tutorials.

@doreensherk287 4 года назад

In this first video I realize I have been doing everything the hard way, no wonder I just put t away, now I am going to get it out again

@lindafriend9392 7 лет назад

Anyone having trouble with the close-ups should see Sue Daley's recent demos on EPP on the Missouri Quilt Co. YT Channel. They're excellent.🔎

@Nat-ji1uz 8 лет назад

thanks sue. i've been having some trouble with my hexies coming apart as i've been stitching my grandmothers flower garden quilt together. the knicker knot has fixed it.

@pegcoen5178 11 лет назад

Thanks Sue...looks fantastic

@Circuszombie306 10 лет назад

Excellent tutorial! Thank you thank you thank you! I feel confident to start now!

@peggyfarrell6991 10 лет назад

Wow, thanks, I am so glad I found your videos as I have been wanting to learn how to do this! Lovely!

@chiquitabananime7305 11 лет назад

Wow sewing is so easy if you look closely... you did a good job!

@OllieandMay 11 лет назад

Thanks Sue for making these Video's even though I've been PP for sometime your Tips are Great Especially the Knicker Knot. Looking forward too seeing More.

Great tutorial Sue!!!

@amyfratto8496 11 лет назад

So excited to see this!

@jeanivanbeick4619 4 года назад

Need to have subtitles on your video for deaf quilters

@rardean 9 лет назад

Sue, great tutorial. The more close ups the better. Thank you for the informative video. 😀 PS3. Having difficulty figuring out your Nicker Knot. 😔

@tammyhammer1444 5 лет назад

I agree with the Nicker Knot part

@carolinemiller2211 5 лет назад

🤔 if she used subtitles instead of hand gestures🤷🏻‍♀️... perhaps ? it would be more clear on her instructions when demonstrating the ...dreaded knot. Also, I missed the part where she would provide a close up of her technique AFTER discussing it. Was this part of the instructions ever included? I was thinking, great that you are talking about it, why doesn’t the camera come in for a tight shot of what she is doing? Overall, I appreciate the concise details Sue provides ( types of thread & needles). Nonetheless, the ‘nicker knot’ has yet to be definitely defined😉. Great video overall. It was the most informative one I have watched so far. 👍

Please go back & add the auto-generated captions. That would be super helpful!

@SierraSadie1 8 лет назад

Love the Knicker Not - Thanks!

@pattyeyler2909 5 лет назад

Love your Irish ring

@dgs619 6 лет назад

I wish to heaven that all videos were required to have closed captioning. You are depriving a large portion of those interested in learning, but are blocked by this practice. It's not too late!!! Fix it and add the captions NOW!!! PLEASE!!!

@EnlightenedFlamingo 4 года назад

I was gonna say the same. As a RU-vidr, I know that it's super easy to have them automatically added.

@sonfederman8212 10 лет назад

@staceygambettimakeup 5 лет назад

Hi there. Thanks for your video. Can I use that clear bottom line thread for everything so I don’t have to buy different colours? Or is there a colour you can recommend that is universal? Thanks

@clarajansen7652 10 лет назад

@gayshaugnessy4495 5 лет назад

Ok thanks Judy, we are working on some new videos with closeups of some of the tricks I teach. Be sure to subscribe and you'll see as soon as I post them.

@italiansdoitbetter5062 Год назад

Hi Sue I’m new to EPP and quilting… I have a lake cabin and want to make a Hexagon quilt in blues, Aquamarine turquoise maybe greens i want it to look like The Mediterranean Sea where I’m from..colors that make you feel like home when I’m not there.my question is about fabric I don’t know what to buy I don’t know companies to buy from I don’t know whether I buy a jelly roll or a fat quarter or any of those things can you please help me out all i do know is to use cotton…. I’ve asked so many people this question and nobody replies to me. Thank you for your channel it has helped me so much

@kayleehealy8559 11 лет назад

I have never paper pieced buy would love to give it a go, I purchased some of the hexagon paper shapes last year. Loved the you tube video, very informative but I'd like to know when and how the paper templates come out please.

@SmittenKitten. 9 лет назад

Thank you SOO much for your wonderful tutorials!! I have a question about the glue pen: can we use Elmer's disappearing glue sticks instead of the Sewline (or Fons & Porter, etc.)? I'm asking because the Elmer's are SO much cheaper, can be purchased in bulk, and easier to find in stores. I've read online where some people say you can definitely use Elmer's, and others say no. What's your opinion?

@chelitajimenez8738 6 лет назад

Thanks you are amazing

@alliecreates6038 2 года назад

Can you do another video showing the knickerbocker closer up?

@karlahansen7032 4 года назад

When appliqué the flowers onto fabric do you remove the papers before or after you sew on the flower?

@lindamattson6281 7 лет назад

Very helpful tutorial. I am new this, but have always loved the look. Where can I find the acrylic template? Thank you.

@yolandarivero5421 5 лет назад

Love the tutorial! I have a question about the glue. How long does it last? Can I make a large amount of them before i put then together? Will the glue last until I do all the hexagons needed? I live on a tropical island that gets very humid and I'm afraid they will unstick. I really want to try this method. I do have plastic crafts container to store them in while gluing them all. Thanks

@maryt2887 2 года назад

So I watched until the end and saw that you provided a closer view. But I had to slow the video to half speed before I could see the motions.

@CraftluverMarianna 9 лет назад

Thanks for your tutorial. I only missed be able to see you sew the stitches as your hands were blocking the view. Especially as I always seem to get my stitches showing up on the front, I was wondering how you vould sew them so little not to show. I understand the 2 threads picking up, but I learn best by vieuwing, so I still love this tutorial! Thanks for posting them!

@hillbillyhandiworks 10 лет назад

I enjoyed your video. I know you know that I know (lol have I lost you?) how to paper piece. I had another well known paper piecer slap my hands concerning my thread so Ive been using precensia but I dont like it! it does fray..she slapped my hands concerning using polyester. Well... I am going to get some bottom line and try it, thanks. I get so tired of broken thread!!

@kathydwan5356 10 лет назад

Hello! In EPP...I am wondering about pre washing fabric...seems we are being assertive in gluing the fabric to the paper. If we don't prewash might we have some troubles later?

@debglastetter851 6 лет назад

Sue Daley I need your help! I am new to EPP. I am working with the 1 inch hexagons. I am following everything in this video. I have learned the knicker knot. Now I am having two problems with my practice flower. One is my thread always knots and gets tangled. I keep having to let my work dangle and let it spin until my thread is untangled. The other problem is that I am working on my second row and I have noticed that of my sewing in coming undone. I am not sure why. I always make sure that my KK is a figure eight. What am I doing wrong?

@melisahaggai3305 9 лет назад

O.K....great video...Newbie here-do you leave the little papers in the hexi forever? Or does it get removed at some point?

@colleenpeters641 6 лет назад

If you have shapes sewn around it, you can remove it or when done.

@maryt2887 2 года назад

I don’t understand how to make the knicker knot. It sounds like a good idea, but I would need to see it done in close-up and slower.

@jonniemiller5349 10 лет назад

Thank you for this fantastic video. How and when do you take out the paper pieces?

@SueDaleyDesigns 10 лет назад

Hi Jonnie, Check out Episode 2 where I talk about removing the papers near the end of the episode.

@donnakirkland3650 8 лет назад

Sue, is there a brand of glue stick that is smaller size than the Sewline that you can recommend?

@joniburke8005 2 года назад

Can you do a close up video of that nicker knot. Very hard to see. Thank you.

@patriciamiller-schwartz6767 Год назад

Say I glue all my templates but can't get to putting them together for awhile, will it be hard to remove the templates?

@doreensherk287 4 года назад

What about silk thread, is that ok to use, I have many colours in silk thread and is it strong enough

@leilahashemi9940 5 лет назад

Very good

@msfunkhouser 11 лет назад

Do you leave the tempates in?

@Phyllis286 9 лет назад

The camera needs to come in closer so that we can see what you are doing. All we could see were your fingers and pretty rings.

@maplelassuk 6 лет назад

@maryellenmeggs3027 3 года назад

My grandmother started a quilt that was made with 7 hexi and 12 equal lateral triangle. I posted pic on the MSC Facebook page asking if anyone knew the name of the pattern. I can't post a pic here. Could you look at it and see if you know the name of the pattern.

@SueDaleyDesigns 3 года назад

Please send me a photo to my team sales@busyfingerspatchwork.com and we will see if we can help you.

@47stoneymaine 11 лет назад

Sue, I feel like a dunce -- when I watched the video again carefully, I saw the knickerknot! I think I looked away at the wrong time. :)

@jacqulyne1282 4 года назад

What weight is your thread?

@peggyfarrell6991 10 лет назад

I am wondering if there are hexies on any of the Cricut cartrides, or a hexie punch, which would make cutting them out a snap.

@mariannehill4440 10 лет назад

Can you tell me the best way of taking the paper out after it has been clued please.

@SueDaleyDesigns 9 лет назад

Marianne Hill Hi Marianne, the papers are easy to take out, simply peel the fabric away from one edge and pull out quickly, like removing a bandaid. You can watch me pulling out papers near the end of this video Ep 2 How to Sew 6 Pointed Stars - Sue Daley's Shape Up English Paper Piecing School

@sdeaazdea9617 10 лет назад

Are you using a white thread or do you match the color of your hexagons?

@SueDaleyDesigns 10 лет назад

Hi Sdeaaz, I most commonly use the Champagne colour in the Superior Bottom Line Thread as I find it blends in with most fabrics. These are the colours that I always have on hand www.busyfingerspatchwork.com/shop/product/sue-daley-superior-bottom-line-thread-pack/

Hi newbie to paper quilting may be obvious to people who have been quilting forever ! Here goes is the paper template removed and at what point please ? Referring to English paper quilting ??

@grammybr2567 10 лет назад

Where can I get the acrylic hexie template? I typed it into google and got some but were very confused by the responses.

@SueDaleyDesigns 10 лет назад

Hi there, we sell hexagon acrylic templates in several sizes on our website, www.busyfingerspatchwork.com/shop/product/hexagons/

@tfarmer2008 5 лет назад

I'm very NEW to EPP, How do you remove the paper.?

@xino_z 5 лет назад

You peel the seam allowance off, remove the hexi for reuse and then you finger press or iron the seams back in place.

@nancyjones5940 8 лет назад

I love paper piecing and your tutorials but the close ups fail to show what it looks like and for a beginner it would be hard for them to grasp it nj

@dixiequilter 5 лет назад

I agree....

@kellyanncavazos4355 5 лет назад

I’m confused, I couldn’t tell if the hexagons you used were baste stitched or not. Are they? Did you skip that step?

@luthnoah2105 4 года назад

KellyAnn Cavazos she only answer to question on buying her product.

@denisealexander6253 9 лет назад

Instructions on figure 8 not helpful, cannot see the thread or your stitch

@needleworknut7792 7 лет назад

Why glue and baste stitch the paper shapes to the fabric then remove the baste stitching and paper, once shapes are sewn together? Can't one just glue the paper shapes onto the fabric then hand stitch the shapes together, skipping the second step? I'm so confused . That figure 8 stitch. Way over my head.

@bettyboop59able1 7 лет назад

Patricia Chanler me too newbie when is paper removed ???

@xino_z 5 лет назад

You are gluing INSTEAD of needle basting the fabric to the shape. The glue is not permanent. No need for basting if you glue which is why ppl love the glue!

@xino_z 5 лет назад

christine ruscoe remove paper manually, and finger press/iron seam allowances back

@grace2548 10 лет назад

Second half of video is all blurring bad????

@pcdaniel53 10 лет назад

I am very new to this. I have just purchased some pre-cut hexies that are 2" on each side. My question is, I want to purchase papers. What size papers do I need to purchase? I have been on line looking and many of them are measured according to "finished size." Can someone tell me what is the actual size I need and where is the best on-line place to purchase them from. Thanks. I am going to enjoy these tutorials.

@SueDaleyDesigns 10 лет назад

Hi Candy, ideally you want your fabric cut out with a 1/4" seam allowance on all sides for paper piecing. You could try our 1 1/2" papers and just have a slightly larger seam allowance, or trim your fabric back to 1/4". You can find those here: www.busyfingerspatchwork.com/shop/product/hexagons/

@pcdaniel53 10 лет назад

***** THANK YOU! I have been having a hard time trying to make people understand in a facebook group I have joined understand that I just needed to know what size of papers I needed to purchase for my pre-cut 2" hexies. I know they have to be smaller, and I went to paperpiecing.com and they have 2" papers but I was confused if those papers were to be used for a 2" cut hexie, or if the paper itself was 2". Thank you for responding and clearing up my frustration.

@SueDaleyDesigns 10 лет назад

I am glad I could help. Maybe they just weren't familiar with pre-cut hexie fabrics as I guess it is more common to cut out your fabrics using an acrylic template. Happy Paper Piecing!

@pattyeyler2909 5 лет назад

It looks like you are a true expert. You look nice but I so much more would like to see the work you are doing than just see you talk and not actually know what you are doing. I can tell you know what you're doing and it's frustrating not being able to see it as you are doing it in real time.
