| The hexagon pattern is a natural formation found in snowflakes, honeycombs, and tortoise shells. The hexagon used for this project has six sides of equal length, approximately 8". |
| This design works well on a square board; the one
used here is 24"
X 24". The Hexagon Design shown in the color section was worked on beige burlap with yellow, brown, and apricot colored polyester threads. The hexagon can be used to achieve many interesting effects by changing threading pattern, by working with various types and colors of thread, and by altering the direction of the design on different size or shape boards. Making Your Design Pattern Using Figure 42, trace the design onto 1/4" graph paper. Transfer the design line by line, square by square onto 1" graph paper. Now your design pattern should be full size, approximately 14 1/4" at the highest point and 15 3/4" at the widest point. |
| All brads should be placed about 1/4" apart. Label
your brads according to the numbering in Figure 42.
Working the Threading Pattern This entire pattern is threaded with the one-to-one
correspondence method (see Fig. 43).
