Watch Sue Daley tutes on YouTube! I use that glue pen and the refills for it or have found that f&p glue stick and refills are identical, so when I can use a coupon from JAF, that's what I pick up....as shown on tute run a lite line of glue onto paper, one side at a time...just short of edge, so,when you sew hexies together you are not sewing glue....fold over seam allowance, go on to next side.....saves loads of time..I do not iron these hexies....when sewing together, when each is completely surrounded by hexies, I can peel back that seam allowance and the paper pops out. I have ordered from paperpieces for other pattern pieces, but for the gfg I'm working on now, I bought the fiskar paper punch to make hexies out of index cards..and a punch to make small circle in center of Hexie, ready to pop out that way....but I must add...the acrylic templates from paperpieces.com with that 3/8" seam allowance is great....
