Thanks so much everyone, gives me lots of ideas and ways to do epp so I can find what I like best.
That is why I like asking questions here, you get many different answers that allow you to try different methods to find what is right for you.
Now to go put some ideas to practice!!!
BTW,Geri B...when you say "hold two side by side" do you mean just the edges, not the right sides of the hexies? I saw a tutorial that was done that way and thought I might try that. The few I have pieced by holding the hexies RST I always see the thread on the front. I have not tried the ladder stitch yet though, so I want to try that too.
Thanks!
