Thanks, and I was talking about while basting the hexies, sorry for not making that clear. I have not gotten to the stage of putting them together yet. I have basted some w/the threads on the top of the hexie, which I know will have to come out, but recently started doing it in the back only but I was not sure if those had to be removed...some tutorials mention that step (I think it was Paperpieces that said to remove them) but many don't so I was not sure.
As for using glue, how do you remove your papers? Is the glue light enough that they still come off easily or do you have to wet them? Seems like I have read that in times past ladies would sometimes leave the papers in, is that correct and does anyone do that now?
Thanks again, and if anyone has any more tips or thoughts I would be glad to "hear"them.
