Moda x Paper Pieces

QuiltCon 2026 is all about hexies at the Moda booth — and we are thrilled to be partnering with our friends at Paper Pieces to bring you inspiration, education, and beautiful projects that celebrate this timeless shape.

Whether you love English Paper Piecing, machine piecing, or template sewing, there’s a hexie project waiting for you.

Demo: Tack It Easy + Quatro Hexie

At our QuiltCon '26 booth we will be demoing the new Tack-It-Easy tool but if you can't make it--don't stress....we made a video demo just for you!

Jessie walks through how to use the Tack It Easy tool and how to construct the Quatro Hexie unit.
