Thats good to know you shouldn't use glue to do the hexies! I had thought about it when stitching away, and wondering if there were an easier way. LOL. I have had papers fall out, and it is a bear to get them back in, so I now take one fairly large stitch in each "flat" side of the hexie. When its time to remove the papers, I just clip the stitch on the front, so when I remove the paper, it pulls all the threads to the back side. Papers won't fall out, and that extra stitch seems to stableize the fabric for stitching. How nice you you all to finish the GFG for your sick friend.
