I highly recommend that you don't use the thick rigid card stock. I started out making my hexies from the heat resistant Mylar template (which CANNOT be cut with the punch btw) and I found it very difficult to sew the hexies together. You need it to be flexible because you may need to be able to bend or fold the hexies to sew them together. I use pretty cheap "value" type of card stock with my punch. I get 20 hexies from each sheet. Some I reuse after removing them, others I just pitch depending on how beat up they get. You will really manipulate your quilt top while sewing the hexies together.
also, the punch will not cut fabric.
