Sewing hexagons

What pattern are you doing? Are you hand piecing or machine piecing? If you are hand piecing I don't see why you can't just mark your 1/4 inch and go for it. If you plan on machine piecing, I can't see how you would use the paper foundation anyway.
English Paper Piecing is just one way of sewing your hexagons together, it is a nice portable project to take with you, however if you prefer to just hand piece them, just starch the fabric well and handle them gently and you will be fine.

No, you don't have to use papers. Try it without and see if you like it. I have done it with and without, and like the papers best, but its a personal prefrence. I don't have to worry about 1/4 in. seams, or marking the seams etc. Just works for me.

Here's something you may want to check out. http://www.cindyblackberg.com/ I took a class from her at the International Quilt Festival a few years ago. She is a hand piecer and has stamp sets for fabric. Scroll to the bottom of the home page for the link for templates and stamps.
