Arrange the hexagons in the desired pattern.
You will sew the hexagons together in vertical rows.
Reduce the stitch length to 2.0 (13 stitches/inch). This
will make it easier to start and stop on the 1/4" marks.
First, sew the hexagons in rows. Layer 2
hexagons, right sides together, start sewing at the
1/4" mark, backstitch or lock the stitches. Use an
accurate 1/4" seam allowance to sew the seam.
Stop at the 1/4" mark and backstitch. Row diagrams
show seams finger-pressed open. Finish sewing the
hexagons in rows.

DO NOT press the seams! Leaving the seams unpressed until the end will
make it much easier to maneuver the hexagons to sew the rows together.

Remove the hexagon rows from the sewing
machine. Open the seam to make sure the stitches
did not catch the next hexagon creating a pucker.
Continue to sew the rows together, one hexagon
side at a time. When a row is complete, add the
next row until the top is done.
