Hi, I have never done a tute before so bear with me on this. I have had several requests for how to make the hexagon block in my Avatar so here goes...
I used 1/4" seam allowance. Any questions, please PM me - ENJOY! :lol: I used the 5 1/2 hexagon template by Darlene Zimmerman [ATTACH=CONFIG]224803[/ATTACH] using 2 1/2 strip, lay under hexagon, right sides together [ATTACH=CONFIG]224804[/ATTACH] notice strip lays past each side of block, sew partial seam, stopping short on first strip [ATTACH=CONFIG]224805[/ATTACH] press toward strip [ATTACH=CONFIG]224806[/ATTACH] using lines on rulers, line up and trim ONE side only on first strip [ATTACH=CONFIG]224808[/ATTACH] lay strip 2 under block right sides together, sew complete seam [ATTACH=CONFIG]224809[/ATTACH] press seam towards strip...always lining ruler up, trim end off [ATTACH=CONFIG]224810[/ATTACH] line up other end and trim off [ATTACH=CONFIG]224813[/ATTACH] continue sewing strip - press and tirm as before [ATTACH=CONFIG]224814[/ATTACH] always use diagonal line on ruler to line up bottom of block before trimming [ATTACH=CONFIG]224815[/ATTACH] as you work around the block, be careful to keep strip #1 out of your way [ATTACH=CONFIG]224816[/ATTACH] fold strip #1 out of way before trimming [ATTACH=CONFIG]224817[/ATTACH] attach last strip as before [ATTACH=CONFIG]224821[/ATTACH] trim - careful to keep strip #1 out of way [ATTACH=CONFIG]224822[/ATTACH] trim other end of last strip sewn [ATTACH=CONFIG]224829[/ATTACH] finish sewing the seam on strip #1 [ATTACH=CONFIG]224830[/ATTACH] press, turn block wrong side up and trim off strip # 1 [ATTACH=CONFIG]224831[/ATTACH] to attach hexagon to background, I used interfacing - sew right side together, make small slit in interfacing, turn right side out and attach with satin stitch as you see in my Avatar [ATTACH=CONFIG]224834[/ATTACH] |

I love your tutorial, thanks for taking the time to create it for us
|
Very nice instructions! Thank you!
|
Thanks so much! My MIL had been attempting this (not too successfully) before she went into the nursing home and I had not figured out why it wasn't working right.
I completed one of her other UFOs after eventually determining the pattern she was doing, but this one I hadn't taken the time to determine how it was actually supposed to go together. |
Great instructions!
|
Beautiful Tutorial! Thank you so much :D:D:D

Great tute...I have always stayed away from partial seams but I see it's not too hard and can be used in a variety of ways....thanks again!
