I also found that I didn't need anywhere as many as I originally thought. I bought my "papers". They were made out of a thick paper, not quite cardboard sized, which made it very easy to baste the fabric, but not the paper. It made an even better project.Stella Nemethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09830011033169280153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2766211193464475676.post-79765148523467118742013-04-18T14:34:29.404+02:002013-04-18T14:34:29.404+02:00gosh - that's a lot of hexies!!!!!

On my current EPP project I used a Sewline glue pen to stick the fabric to the paper and it works like a dream....apparently a bit of steam from an iron loosens the glue. Also, not sure if you've seen anywhere but punching a hole in the middle of the hexies makes them easier to remove at the end? I'm about to do some hexies for my latest skill builder block and I'm going to attempt running stitch them together just to try something different. See what happens!

Eers stroke, dan teen n 60grade hoek die breedte van die strook en dan die puntjies af met jo patroonplaat. Staple n klomp papier aanmekaar en sny n klomp lae op n slag. Maar jy wil nie noodwendig vinniger werk nie. Hoe jy dit ook doen, dit lyk belowend!MariƩ du Toithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02909042335906074224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2766211193464475676.post-38320134646598578472013-04-17T23:49:45.304+02:002013-04-17T23:49:45.304+02:00Oh wow!

I have a die by Sizzix that cuts 48 paper hexies with 1 inch sides in one pass (takes about a minute). If this is your size, pm me your address and I will send you some! You can also get a bigger die that cuts the larger suitable sized hexagons (1.5 inch sides) out of fabric. TiaraHelenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00448619418539423710noreply@blogger.com
