Not the embroidery ones- the next size . I use a paper punch to make a hole in the middle of the paper hex so that it will be easy to remove after you have sewn the fabric onto the template. I have made them1.5" to 3". Stack several of them to see if they are the same. If you see that they aren't , you have to make sure that when you are cutting the card stock you are getting as close to the bottom edge of the template as possible.. I will take some photos tomorrow to show you how I do it. I made a over a thousand of them watching tv. I made alot of confetti doing it. You can start collecting the cards now. If you pm me your address I can send you some so you can get started. The great thing about this way is that it doesn't cost you anything ! Anne
