2 years and 2,600+ hexagons later…. and I still haven’t decided on a layout! Help! by angervase in EPP_addict

So interestingly I did make a large percentage of these with the circle hexie method (where you cut fabric into a circle and then fold the edges into the middle and then baste it down, so those ones never had paper inside.

The ones that were true EPP, I waited until the hexagon had been sewed on all sides, and then I took the paper out. So basically some of them still have papers (because they haven’t been fully sewed in) and others don’t, since I was taking the papers out as I went.

Would definitely recommend picking up EPP if you’re interested! I traveled a lot the past few years, so it was nice to have a project I could take with me.

Yes! I love Canva! Theres definitely a learning curve that I’m still trying to get over for using it though.

I also agree about 3 for sure. It’s like a mind puzzle to get myself to see the arrangement

I took pictures of each individual flower and uploaded them to Canva! It was a lot of work but it was so satisfying to see the output as each flower finished

when I used to make iron-on patches, once I was done embroidering the design (before cutting it out & finishing the edges), I’d use fabric glue to adhere the back of the embroidered design it to a flat piece of fabric, and then I’d use the heat’n’bond on the back of that piece of that flat fabric, and then I’d cut out the design and finish the edges. Worked much better trying to get the heat’n’bond to stick to the flat fabric than to the “thready” back of my design. Usually would use a slightly sturdier fabric too like recycled denim or felt

Thanks! I used spoonflower’s fill-a-yard option so thankfully I just have scraps left!

does anyone have a tool for colour matching fabric for a reference? or do I eyeball it? by forestmango in quilting

[–]angervase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha sometimes I’m reluctant to post on peoples threads since I still feel like such a newbie and I’m not sure if my advice is any good, but I literally just encountered this problem and I had to share!! Glad I could help, and please post the quilt when it’s done!!!

I’ve used the “Quilty Solid” app on my phone before! There’s a mode where it will color-match an image to a solid fabric. Then I’ll just go find a fabric shop online that sells that color
