I don't cut my fabric into hexi shapes but into squares about a 1/2" larger than my finished hexi will be. I make a master sheet of my hexi template then run off several copies at the office store, staple to card stock (any kind of advertisements etc that is card stock weight). I staple in each hexi so it does not shift and use three or four pieces of card stock at a time. This is just my way of doing it and as others have said there are so many variations you just need to find what works best for you, maybe a variation of many ideas put together.
