    Amazing how so many don't know this way. We were taught this stitch in Home Ec. I forgot what name it had but I use it to sew hexies.

    Thanks, Peggi! It seems so simple, one of those "Why didn't I think of that?" moments. I like how you don't have to be manipulating the pieces so much. Your work stays lined up quite nicely. I'm going to be using this method.

    I also will give this a try after I make some more hexis.

    Tried it out last night and it was awesome!!! I sure wish I knew this at the beginning but I still have a long way to go on my project. Thanks so much!!!
    Oh- and since you don't have to fold the hexis they will last longer too. A lot of mine are practically useless after all the folding I had to do when I did it the other way.
    I love working on this project at night. Very relaxing and now more so
