[ATTACH=CONFIG]535349[/ATTACH]I bought my first pack of 1 inch hexies and that was all it took to get me addicted. I bought a Fiskers 1 inch paper punch from Joanns with a discount coupon and a bunch of the cheesiest white paper crafting card stock and made my own. I suggest that you buy the acrylic template for cutting you fabric. Sue Daley has one, but she only uses 1/4 seam allowance and I found that that to be too small. There is another brand that I think is called Paper Pieces and all their seam allowances are 3/8 and is much easier when using a glue stick. You will get the best results if you use a 10 millers needle (Sue Daley brand) and a thinner thread. My LQS sells bobbins of fine thread just for English Paper Piecing. I made this for my sister's birthday.
