For instructions how to use the ‘glue method’ please see post ‘Hexagons – Part I’
I love reproduction prints, especially the fun you can have fussy cutting.
To sew these flowers together, I was using Superior Bottom Line Polyester 60wt thread in Taupe. I found, while the thread did melt into the fabric because it was so fine, it was very hard to work with. I have now changed to the 50wt cotton Masterpiece collection by Superior threads www.superiorthreads.com
I was also using a Milliners No 11 needle, recommended to place less stress on the hands while sewing. I have reverted back to a small sharp. I suppose at the end of the day, it relies on what you feel comfortable using and how it will impact on the way you piece.
More Done today.
I like the fabric in these flowers.
The last of the flowers glued ready to be sewn. Now to the fun part.
Love your hexagon flowers and am about to start to make some of my own. Thanks so much for your tutorials.
