You use two crossed stick pins pinned through the hole to anchor your fabric. Whip stitch a round the edges, remove the pins. Sew the hexies together, and then remove any plastic templates that aren't along the edge. I made about 70 hexies and used them to make a king size GFG. You can use them over and over.

That would eliminate half of the hand stitching for the block so maybe you could stitch longer before your hands start to hurt. You could Google this method to learn if you might want to do it.mckie2https://www.blogger.com/profile/14318108408145193999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20392758.post-3584716404003274442018-01-10T06:01:07.406+10:302018-01-10T06:01:07.406+10:30woohoo...shes made a start.........woohoo...shes made a start.........Chookyblue......https://www.blogger.com/profile/03673183082274488600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20392758.post-83831768153445140272018-01-10T04:16:31.543+10:302018-01-10T04:16:31.543+10:30I think I bought a couple of rolls of freezer pape...I think I bought a couple of rolls of freezer paper at exactly the same time (and maybe nearly in the same place too 🙂 )<br /><br />I bought mine for applique and I still have nearly all of it!Bag End Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190496929132717769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20392758.post-42937896023910667582018-01-10T03:53:16.937+10:302018-01-10T03:53:16.937+10:30I love this type of hand sewing but I also have tr...I love this type of hand sewing but I also have trouble with painful hands, which is stopping me completing half started projects.Mad about Crafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02544300326099671122noreply@blogger.com
