I am using Inkling for hexagons. I like it. I didn't see much waste at all. I don't like pre-washing fabric but you have to or the threads get caught in the printer.
Its great for me for hand piecing because I need the cross hair on the hexagons (I'm brand new to hand piecing). Linda suggest a running stitch instead of a whip stitch. Its faster and easier.
I also have a die cutting machine but have not bought the hexagon die yet. It would be faster to cut out hexies with die cutter but then I would have to mark the corners. Someone with hand piecing experience may not need it the 1/4 inch marks.
