| 1) Place one triangle on opposite ends
of the hexagon. If you have a "fussy cut" make sure the pattern is facing
the direction you want it to be when finished.
. . . . |
| 2) Sew across each triangle, using a 1/4" seam allowance. If your pattern is correct, you will have little fabric pieces (I call them "nubbies") that stick out beyond the hexagon. This is a good guide for matching the pieces. Your stitching should cross right at the intersection of the two pieces of fabric. If they don't, either your seam line is too big or too small or your pattern is wrong. |

Press the triangles OUT. Be sure to leave the little nubbies that sitck out. You wil be able to use them later as a matching guide.. .. . |
3) To sew on the third triangle, you
must first have the previous triangle pressed out. Then place the third
triangle on the next side of the hexagon, using the "nubbies" as a guide
to where to place it. Then turn the piece OVER TO
THE BACK SIDE. You will sew from the back this time. (Your triangle is
under the work)

| Press that triangle open also. Make sure the little "nub" doesn't get caught in the next seam, which will probably be your border in this case. |
