They have to come out. I made some various hexies and tried them out and found a solution. But it's going to take a while. So far I've taken three out and what a chore that was with invisible thread! I learned:
- It's going to be tricky since I removed the papers from the hexagons. So the ones I use to reconstruct will have to have the papers, so that means new ones - not using the old ones I take off elsewhere as I first thought.
- In order to rip out the stitches (which are very hard to see) I must put the two hexies with the seam between them right sides together, sit where the lamp is shining over my shoulder to make the stitches appear. Then I can see to rip.
- It's a good thing I ties off at both ends of each small seam or the hexies would fall apart with this deconstruction
- Sew the three I am removing into a shape before I add them back.
Little by little....
What are you up to? Would love to see it, whether finished or WIP progress or an old post, or even about what is going on in your life - not necessarily quilty. Share your goodness.
