Thank you for the close up view of how to stitch these together!
Found you on Missouri Quilt Co. and bought your templates and pattern! New to paper piecing and very excited to find your hand quilting process! I love hand piecing and find my "zen" in the process. I started January 2020 with the passing of my Mom who had dementia. My sister and I were her caretakers. Then came March and Covid-19. It has been a rough time, but I have found some peace in hand quilting! Thank you for sharing you special stitch, I have just begun my first quilt with materials I have saved and so thrilled to find you on CZcams!! ♥
This is exactly what I've been looking for! Haven't started yet since, I'm still working on my previous project, but I'm planning ahead. Thanks!
This looks absolutely amazing 🎉 I’m hooked . All I need now is the scrap pieces off fabric. Thank you so much for that stitching technique 🙏
Hi, received my template this afternoon and I am very excited. Have got the perfect project, I am making quilts that go on the incubators in the neo natal icu, I have a stash of very hungry caterpillar fabric so this will look great, I have already cut out 10 'sandwiches'. I thought the little note with the template was charming. Thank you,
Thank you Hilary for buying my template, I would love to see your quilts when they are done. Happy Sewing!! :) Nicola XXX
Thank you for the video. I much prefer the hand stitching. So pretty.
I got these templates and this will be my next hand sewing project, as soon as I finish the one I am doing. I love the cute white border around each hexie. Just adorable! And now the precut batting is available!
I am working on my first quilt using your hexagon set. Thank you for sharing this demonstration.
Just got my templates today, cant wait to get started 😊 love from Denmark
Thanks Trine, Happy Sewing XXX
This technique is so beautiful! I am so excited to get Started on a hexagon quilt💕
I'm so pleased your as excited as I am about QAYG XXX
I watched the Missouri Star video too. Several years ago I found a picture of a beautiful hexagon wall hanging. Until now, I didn’t know how to duplicate it. I’m excited to try this out. I want to do it by hand. I’m glad you hooked up with Missouri Star. If you put a link to your website and links to any products you talk about in the section below your video, you’ll get more people visiting your website. The first thing I did after watching your video was to look for the link to your website, but it wasn’t there. Thanks for showing Jenny how to do this!!
Thank you so much for this, I will try and get this done!! Happy Sewing, Nicola X
I too came here from Missouri Star - which is ironic as I am in the UK! I have now purchased the two templates I wanted (2.5 in hexagon and 2.5 in diamond) and have to say I am impressed with the efficient delivery - I received my templates the morning after I put the order in. Really looking forward to having a go with this. I love hexies but always think “why did I start this?” When working with them - they always take so much longer than I remember! This looks like a great time saver.
Hi Diana, glad they arrived nice and quick, I hope you have lots of Happy Sewing with them, Nicola X

Thank you for the lovely tutorial
Thank you so much for this, I now know I'm doing it right.
Love the stitch!
Thanks Rebecca X
This is great! You've made a new stitch! I've just subbed! Greetings from Texas! Tfs!
Amazing tutorial..thanks for sharing
Thanks Naseema, glad it was useful, Happy Sewing, Nicola X
Very nicely explained thank you Nicola xxx
Thank you Carol X
Can you please show us how to hand sew rows together?
Happy New Year Nicola! Thanks for this fun QAUG method of quilting. I too came here by way of Missouri Star; Jenny was just so excited about it that I had to check it out! I have started sewing my hexies, but like some others here I am looking for some tips on how to hand sew rows or sections together. I just watched the video for machine-stitching, but I am hoping you are also filming one for hand stitching. Those Y seams can be tricky. Thanks!
Hi Laura, thanks for watching, I hand sew the hexagons the same way as I machine stitch them, so I join them into rows and then join the rows, it is just a case of keeping right sides together and when you get to the end of a hexagon secure your stitch with a knot before going onto the next hexagon. But saying all that I now know that I need to do a video on that as well. So watch this space, Nicola XXX
Daisy and Grace Thanks for your reply! That does help as I plan my joining strategy. But I would still love to see you do it - especially sewing those Y seams together. ☺️
Really helpful, thank you.
Thank you Lin X
Wonderful stitch! Can I use instead of a whipstitch in a not as you go quilt? I have to get your templates and try this method!
Love your quilts. I saw your template on Missouri Star website. Question about the hand stitched version. Is there any issue with the batting shifting when the quilt is washed? Thanks so much.
Thank you for the tutorial. What hand sewing needle do you recommend? Thanks
Would i sew the hexis together row by row so one side first then when i attach the second row i would be sewing two sides to the hexi's of the first row?
Hello Lisa, I will be doing a video this week showing how I join them, so please subscribe and then you won't miss it. Happy sewing New Year.

Thank you! I had been wondering if you could do this for QAYG as the other methods I've seen seem so complicated to me. :-) I too came here from the Missouri Star video, wanting to see how Nicola did her stitch! Thanks so much for this, Nicola. (Also, any thoughts on when/if the half hexie template will be available at MSQ? I've got the star in the hexagon on my wishlist but would love this one too!)
Hi, thank you for liking my templates, I don't know if Missouri are planning on doing the half hexagon but I have put the link below to my website where you can find all the templates. I can post any of the templates that Missouri aren't stocking to the USA.
Happy Sewing

D M G, I bought the template yesterday from MSQC’s website. I’m referring to the template she used in this video.
Any chance you will be doing a tutorial on how to machine stitch the hexies together? That would be lovely!
Yes I have done a video already, please see link below. X

Hi, is there another video which is closer up or better quality? I can't quite figure out this stitch. Thank you!
I am curious how you would join the one above it with a Y stitch.
Hi Catherine, I have now realised that I need to do another video on this so please watch this space, I'll get onto it. Nicola XXX
Me, too! I have a stack of hexis I would like to hand sew into a quilt or table runners, but I can't see how to sew the rows together. Since I don't want to make a very long quilt caterpillar, I will wait for your expert instruction. Thanks!
Nicola, did you ever post a video on how to hand stitch the hexagons above. I am not sure how to hand stitch. Thanks!
I would like to know what thread wt you used to stitch the finished hexies together? I’m worried since there’s no additional backing I might not get it strong enough. 💚
Hi Donn, at the moment I am using Mettler no.50 silk finish cotton it gives me a lovely finish. Happy Sewing, Nicola X
Daisy and Grace Thank you
Do you need to tack the batting somehow so it won’t bunch up?
My hand sewn hexies are not perfect(beginner). So I know there will be spots where I will not have picked up a thread of batting when sewing them. Before I join them by hand is there anything I sound do to make sure the batting won’t bunch up when I wash the quilt?
I got my templates from Missouri Star. Will you be selling others?
Excellent thank you Rebecca, Missouri Star only have a few of mine at the moment, but you can find more on my website

Many thanks Nicola X
Hello from Hamburg, Germany - I am desperately looking for your rectangle templates to get in germany... cant find them... can you help me??? I would so like to try them out!
Do you double your thread?
Hi Cindy, I use a single strand of thread as it makes it less bulky. Thanks for watching I hope it helps.
Happy Sewing
Nicola X
😇🇦🇿👍
Do you double the thread?
I can’t find the Quilt as you go hexagon template on your website
Hello, you can find them all here:

I hope that helps. X
How many square do you think. You need for a quilt
Hi, there are plenty of patterns available on the Daisy & Grace Website or on Missouri Star. x
I think that is a ladder stitch.
