You can buy bags of the plastic hexes in many sizes. They all have holes in the middle for easy removal. You can also go to Inlingo.com to purchase a program which will print on the back of your fabric: there will be lines for the outer cut edge, along with dash lines inside the larger hexie. You can cut on the outer lines either with scissors or with rotary cutters. You can either hand or machine sew on the dashed lines and get perfect results. The nice part about hand sewing is that you use a running stitch, which won't show as much as the system with paper piecing.To prepare the fabric, you iron freezer paper to the front of the fabric and place the fabric in your paper tray in the printer, being sure to have the back of the fabric placed correctly so that the printing goes on the fabric rather than on the back of the freezer paper.
