[QUOTE=mike'sgirl;6162236]I'm in the middle of GFG and I am confused as to how on earth one would baste and not baste through the paper. I actually glue baste my hexies, and find it much easier and faster than thread basing. I try to get the glue more on the paper than on the fabric. I use a Sewline glue pen.[/QUOTE

Some people just tack from corner to corner, letting the basting thread travel on top of the fabric, no stitches in between the corner tacks. Not my prefered way, but what ever works. I have not tired glue, but plan to at some point.
