This Technique is Great for Pouches, Totes and Much More!

Do you love hexies but dislike the hand-sewing that’s involved in creating them? This clever idea recreates the look without hand sewing.

Simply fuse hexies to a background and sew around each one with a decorative stitch that mimics the look of hand-sewing. Voila. Beautiful hexies.

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!




PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article).
