CAT'S FUN- FRIDAY TIP..."HEXAGONS FOR RAW EDGE APPLIQUE"

Hey quilter's.....hope all is going well. It's that time of year when the garden is in & Christmas quilting is in full speed. I've been designing a Cat's Country Christmas Quilt-along that I'll be posting starting in July so please keep following. Super fun & easy tips to create a special quilt for your loved ones. Today I'm designing a "Santa Belt Apron" for our towns Library fundraiser & I'm using a lot of hexagon's & wanted to share this tip for a fast way to fuse hexagons for the "raw edge" application. I'm rotary cutting so many that I had to come up with a speedy method that made me so happy that I just had to share. If you already use this method then disregard and all I have to say is "great minds think alike!" Anyway....keep following for the Christmas Quilt-along in July and as always email me any q's.
Blessed Quilting from My Home to Yours,
Cat

Here's all you do...
Depending on your size of Hexagon...cut your strip of fabric 1/2- 1 in. larger then your "HeatnBond Lite fusible webl Pic below is using some leftover scrap squares but the method is the same.
Rotary cut your HeatnBond Lite fusible web about a 1/4" larger then your Hexagon square.
Fuse to wrong side of fabric following manufactures direction.
On paper side of HeatnBond lite mark 2 lines using a ruler the width of your hexagon (see diagram)
Using your Hexagon template then trace the outside edges "the arrow points"
Continue this method until you get the amount of Hexagons desired.
Note...the fabric is cut larger then HeatnBond lite fusible web so when your press this allows for any
glue seepage. :-)

Rotary cut the Hexagons using this same method.
Cut lines first then sub cut the corners.

Fuse following manufacturers direction & raw edge applique.
I fully recommend AURIfil thread....I've never had a breakage with all the raw edge applique that I do & they have wonderful weights & color hues to choose from.
What I've enjoyed using this method is that you have your main lines cut accurately & the sub cuts of angles go fast afterwards....win...win :-)
Enjoy & Hope you've enjoyed this tip.
