Make this stylish pillow out of your favorite prints and solids! Modern Hexie is a fun project based on traditional English paper piecing. Learn hand and machine sewing techniques in addition to rotary cutting, pressing, trimming, making a quilt sandwich, and quilting with a walking foot. While this might be your first hexie project, we guarantee it won’t be your last!

*Skill Level: Beginner - You’ve taken a class or two and are starting to get comfortable with the basics. You know what a seam allowance is, you’ve sewn a little on your own, but you still need a little help with remembering how to thread the machine and wind a bobbin. These classes usually have little if any homework to complete outside of class time. The prerequisite for any Beginner class is a Sew Basics class, Learn to Sew class, or equivalent. This skill level is not for people who have never used a sewing machine before.
