I have had some questions asking how I do my Hexies with the ladder stitch.
First of all, for those who don't know what the ladder stitch is,
here is a graphic on how to do it

Of course some of you might like to see it demonstrated and I found a Youtube on how to do it also.
MY ladder stitch, however, isn't as neat as theirs but it still isn't too bad.
I tried to take small stitches and this is how it looked on the January 2014 BOM snowflake.
If you look closely, you'll see the stitching on the pattern. I tried to match my thread colors so that "just in case" it showed it wouldn't be bad. Of course it makes it harder to see now. Sorry Angie. :)
But overall the snowflake laid down nicely I thought.
What do you think?

wouldn't have thought to stitch them this was, though interestingly I bet they would lay nicely done that way yes! may have to try it myself lol
Hi Bonni- Glad to see someone else doing their hexies the same way I do! I love the ladder stitch for hexies and applique. Doesn't matter what color thread I use, cause you never see it! Love the Gana fabrics you got too!
Pretty !!!
