I learned a lot on the first flowers I made in the Inchy Hexagon Flower Swap for Deb in Australia. But I even learned more on this first One Flower Wednesday flower.
I figured out that if I am going to use the big, bright prints by Kaffe Fassett, I think I want to fussy cut them. Also, I need to use a thread that is closer in color to the fabric I am using instead of a nice neutral light grey that I use for everything else. I think I am going to get one of the BobbinSaver rings with prewound bobbins in a cacophony of colors from Superior Threads

ReplyDeleteBeautiful hexie flower. I have also fallen in love with sewing these little hexie flowers :)
ReplyDeleteA beautiful flower to add to your garden. Yes they are very addictive and fun to stitch.
ReplyDeleteI think getting a bobbin saver is a great idea for making hexies. They are so much fun and addictive.
ReplyDeleteWelkom to the one flower wednesday, your flower looks beautyful.
ReplyDeleteGr. Hennie.
Cute flower and have fun buying new supplies ;-0
ReplyDeleteLove your flower! I have just started making them too -- and my stitches show where I join the hexies together! I cannot see your stitches....any tricks?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flower for your garden. I love sewing hexie flowers - it's addicting!
ReplyDeleteYour flower is beautiful! You have found the best use for Kaffe Fasset prints yet!
ReplyDeleteI bought a BobbinSaver not long ago and love having all of those threads for stitching petals together. I even just ordered the second ring just recently released with different colors.
Love the pink and green in your flower!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the group! Very pretty flower! Watch out - hexies are addictive!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to One Flower Wednesday! Your first flower is just beautiful, such pretty fabric. You are so right about thread colour, it should be matched to the fabric for best results.
ReplyDeleteGreat fabric for your flower, pretty. I have one of those bobbon savers,never thought of using it for all my different colours of thread for my hexies. Sure would be better than all the spools I have getting tangled on my side table.
ReplyDeleteGreat hexi! I'm also part of the Inchy Hexagon swap. I purchased Superior Threads bobbin ring thinking the same thing as you. My experience is that the Superior thread just doesn't hold up well to stitching hexi's together -- it literally shreds. Mettler is my first choice followed closely by
ReplyDeleteAurafil. Just food for thought.
What a great idea to use the bobbin buddy to have lots of threads without a birds nest in your sewing bag. Yes I admit that I am speaking from experience!
