Hex N More Cutting Tutorials - Jewel
Tutorial Provided by Julie Herman of Jaybird Quilts
We have already covered how to cut 60° Triangles, Half Hexagons, & Hexagons. The last shape we are doing to cut is the Jewel. The Hex N More can cut four sizes of Jewels. The measurements are based on the height of the Jewel.
Four Sizes - 3", 6", 9", 12"
With today's tutorial I'm demonstrating how to cut a 9" Finished Size Jewel.
1. Start with a 9 1/2" x width of fabric strip.
2. Place ruler as shown aligning the top of the 9 1/2" jewel shape (also happens to be the 6 1/2" hex line) with the top edge of the fabric strip.
3. Cut along right edge of ruler to trim strip.
4. Flip fabric over to the wrong side. Align top of fabric strip with the top
of the 9 1/2" jewel shape & the cut edges with the solid 9 1/2"
jewel line.
5. Cut along right edge of ruler to complete the jewel.
6. Rotate the fabric strip 180° to cut the next jewel. Align ruler &
trim off the excess fabric.
7. Flip fabric back over to the right side. Align top of fabric strip with the
top of the 9 1/2" jewel shape & the cut edges with the solid 9 1/2"
jewel line.
8. Cut along right edge of ruler to complete the jewel.
