Those sound really nice, too! I like the registration marks in the corners. The stamps don't have that on every corner, so you have to check your lineup with your needle before you start the seam. I also like the ease of cutting...no scissors. But it does waste a bit more than nesting all the stamped hexes. The stacking to cut is still a draw for me. I hate basting and then un basting!
The video shows rotary cutting.
The collection that I have also includes a scissors cutting page, in which the hexagons are nested.
