Bonnie Hunter has a great tutorial for cutting and sewing hexies

Years ago I said I'd never ever do these and now I'm hooked

Good luck and have fun...you may find them as addictive as I do.
I like the Fiskars punch too - much better than the mylar templates. I love making hexies but have problems sewing them together in large sections. Decided to just make the flower and applique it to a block and set them together with sashings. Love the look. I'm teaching a class in EPP in June. I use 2" squares and nip off the corners after I've basted the hexie.
