Seriously, y'all. You need to take a look-see at the stamps. I have never done the baste, sew, unbaste, remove cardboard method, but it just sounds like more time and effort. After you cut out the stamped pieces, you just pin the corner and sew on the line. And you are still doing it by hand, so still traditional. Yes, you have to cut around the stamps, but you have to mark around a template and then cut it out anyway. Or cut out the general right size of fabric to baste around the cardstock hex. I gotta get some pics taken.
