The precut hex's are great, however, I do it the old fashiioned way, and cut them out myself. I use scrap paper that comes in junk mail ads. Surprising how good some of that paper is. I have used glue a few times when I made 1/2 inch hex's. (Too small for a pin). The paper seemed to stick to the fabric, and would leave bits of paper, making the hex a bit stiff. It was a bit difficult to get off, and the papers were not usable again. I used elmers school glue stick. I prefer thread basting. It goes rather quickly once you get going on it. The papers can be reused a # of times. I have made 2 queen size GFG. #2 yet to be quilted. Someone mentioned not using papers at all. That would be another option. I have done a few this way by marking the "corners" with a dot, and hand stitching "dot-to-dot" Time consuming marking the dots! Not my favorite.
I know nothing about EQ7. Don't have the program.
Good luck with your GFG. I hope you enjoy the process, which ever method you choose.
