Those are beautiful. Is the top stitching for decoration or how you put the hexi together?

I cheat I use the topstitching for decoration but also sew the hexagons together at the same time.

I love doing these on the sewing machine. I congratulate your choice of machine stitches,the little stars go so well with the overall design and the joining stitch is the one i always use to join these hexagons. What size hexagon did you use and what did you back it with.
I just cannot get my Phaff machine to use the gold thread so i envy you in being able to use it.
These will make any table look just that bit more spectacular well done

By using a clear plastic template you can get that fussy cut just right and it certainly shows here how it is done to perfection.
If any one wants to know how to do hexagons without hand stitching then message me and i will tell you.

It is very cleverly done as the hexagons(4") are sewn on a big hexagon where the rim is paper pieced on. So white background is part of the big hexagon. I have done this on my Pfaff machine ,but it will only work with Madeira metallic thread and a metallic needle. I have tried it with different makes of thread but found that very irritating as the thread kept breaking.
thanks for the info I will give it a go
