How to sew hexagons together by machine.

1 Use the template found at the base of the
 package to mark the 1/4" intersections
on the wrong side of the hexagons.
2 Arrange the hexagons in the desired pattern.
You will sew the hexagons together in vertical rows.
Reduce the stitch length to 2.0 (13 stitches/inch). This
will make it easier to start and stop on the 1/4" marks.
First, sew the hexagons in rows. Layer 2
hexagons, right sides together, start sewing at the
1/4" mark, backstitch or lock the stitches. Use an
accurate 1/4" seam allowance to sew the seam.
Stop at the 1/4" mark and backstitch. Row diagrams
show seams finger-pressed open. Finish sewing the
hexagons in rows.
5 Start sewing at the 1/4" mark, then backstitch and
continue to sew the 1/4" seam. Stop sewing at the
1/4" mark, backstitch.
4 Flip row B onto row A to align the two edges for
sewing. Sweep any seams away from the hexagon
so that the two hexagons lay flat and are aligned.
6 Remove the hexagon rows from the sewing
machine. Open the seam to make sure the stitches
did not catch the next hexagon creating a pucker.
Continue to sew the rows together, one hexagon
side at a time. When a row is complete, add the
next row until the top is done.
DO NOT press the seams! Leaving the seams unpressed until the end will
make it much easier to maneuver the hexagons to sew the rows together.
