I've decided to take the leap and start a GFG. I need something for a take along project and just something to work on at night when I want to sit with the family but not zone out on TV. :)
I bought several packages of precut paper hexagons (sorry but cutting thousands of my own templates just didn't appeal to me). At $2.80 per 100 it just seemed like a good deal. :) My initial thought was to baste my fabric to the paper using the traditional thread and needle method. I'm starting to kick around the idea of glue basting though. I'd really like some input from those that have done either, or both, method. Thread would take longer but I could re-use my paper templates and I think they'd be easier to remove. Glue would be faster but harder to remove the template and probably couldn't re-use it. Decisions, decisions.
Second question is regarding EQ7. My use of it is still so basic and there's a million things I haven't even begun to learn. Is there a way to go in and create hexagons and place them all together so I can play with colors in my quilt? Do I go into Patchwork Draw or something like that? I looked through the manual but didn't really find anything. Not to say it isn't there, because it probably is, I just didn't see it while flipping through.
Thanks for any help or tips anyone can provide!
