    OK, let's see how really dumb I am at this.

    First of all, where (what link) will I be using?

    Is this on the main site?

    Ok, double duh........ I didn't find any instructions and did you download each pic separately?

    I just think this is beautiful and would like to try it.

    carol :lol:
    Speaking of chai design, where are the photos of the block now? I have the original announcement downloaded (with supply list and patterns), but cannot find the actual photos to go with that. Would someone be so kind as to send me a link again. :roll:

    Thanks,

    3. sew your first seam. make sure to stay between the clip lines.

    backstitch at the beginning and end of the seam
    OK, you can see I found it and now I am in business!!!!

    Believe me, you have done a beautiful job! The ineffeciency is strictly on my part. I am computer challenged--maybe computer illiterate.

    One small suggestion: you might feature the various links in your footer or maybe on the top of the topic thread for people like me.

    I am a new member and hope I'm not doing anything wrong, but I found a site with beautiful Jewish fabric and patterns.
    http://www.faynicolljudaicadesigns.com/index.html . I am not Jewish but they are my ancestors in faith and I am going to make some of the wall banners with the Star of David.

    it looks like you are using a rubber stamp or printing program for marking the hexagons onto your fabric... Which is it and where do you get it?

    i use Corel Draw.

    i iron the fabric to freezer paper and run it through my printer.
    there's a downloadable template file available at the beginning of this topic.

    by coincidence, i'm making a quilt right now using hexagons. so, i've been experimenting with an easier way to cut and mark the hexagons without wasting as much fabric as is wasted by printing them.

    i plan to share it as soon as i can put together post-worthy instructions. :-)
