I am very new to this and have been putting off starting because of all the hand sewing. Now I can't wait to get started. I am going to go back to the start of your video's and watch them all first. I am very excited so a huge thank you.

GREAT VIDEO ROB. I HAVE ALWAYS AVOIDED EPP HEXIES BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO DO HAND SEWING. THIS IS GREAT.

THIS IS THE DAY BEFORE THANKSGIVING, AND MY HEAT WENT OUT, AND WE ARE EXPECTING VERY COLD WEATHER. HOWEVER, I AM GRATEFUL FOR SHELTER, MY ANIMALS , MY SEWING, AND MY GOD.

When I was younger I felt the same way about hand sewing but now that I'm much, much, much older I find it relaxing to my over active mind. I like your method and look forward to seeing how it will be as you finish it. Happy Holidays to you and your family!!!

This technique is innovative - game changer for those of us that have hand tendon problems & can’t hand sew

I always wanted to esp by machine since I do suffer with arthritis. Now I see how to do it, I’ll definitely try it

I love this idea Rob! I can see multiple benefits to using the interfacing! After you get the hexagon seems done and the batting laid down you could iron it in place eliminating the pins or using it for another stable layer for quilting!

I DO A LOT OF COLLAGE QUILTING WITH EMILY TAYLOR, AND THIS IS SO GOOD OF YOU TO TEACH US THESE METHODS.

I love this! I have an unfinished hexie quilt for which I will use this technique…one day…😂

Thanks Rob. I am a newbie and about to start sewing my first project. Love your teaching style

Rob: If the interfacing creates a problem with weight you should try Pellon 542 S interfacing. It is sticky and washes out. It has been used for embroidery designs. It has a pressure sensitive sticky surface and it washes out. It comes in 8 1/2" x 11" sheets and on a roll. The sheets may be able to be printed on with a regular printer on the back side to reduce waste. Just a suggestion.

I think this is perfection because even when you hand-sew you still have manipulation. So I will make a machine pillow using this technique. I love it and it is original. So creative and fun.

Wow, I've never seen EPP done on a machine. I'm waiting for EPP supplies so I can get started on it by hand. I do enjoy sewing by hand, although the way that you're doing your project, it looks much easier. Rob, you've been sewing for a long time, so it would seem that it would come naturally to you to sew your pieces together. Good luck.
Can't waitvto view the completed project. Thank you🇨🇦

This is genius. It's still time consuming but wow🤩.

Not only do I love your technique but I also love your colors. I might try this now. I am not a sew by hand girl. Thank you

I also am a EPPer by hand. I will definitely give it a try to see what is what. The connecting procedure in how you manipulate the hexes to join them for your pattern to evolve is just about the same as hand EPP. Quite clever. My hat is off to you.

@annejacobs3478 1 year ago

You are so wonderful in your instructions, I so enjoy all of your videos, learning something new every time I watch you!
Thank you so much for just being you! 🥰

Rob your project is gorgeous

@veliatorrez6523 1 year ago

Have always loved this quilt. Like hand sewing the only problem I had was getting them to match when I folded each. Thank you it will be beautiful when finished.

@kathygarner419 1 year ago

Rob: They also have finger protectors for ironing small quilt pieces. I have some they are great when I can find them. Also with traditional hexagons you can cut squares, you are working way too hard. The seam allowance can be trimmed later with an embroidery scissors or applique scissors if they cause a problem during quilting. I have never found that necessary if machine quilting is used. Your projects are beautiful and colorful!
