Those sound really nice, too! I like the registration marks in the corners. The stamps don't have that on every corner, so you have to check your lineup with your needle before you start the seam. I also like the ease of cutting...no scissors. But it does waste a bit more than nesting all the stamped hexes. The stacking to cut is still a draw for me. I hate basting and then un basting!
The video shows rotary cutting.
The collection that I have also includes a scissors cutting page, in which the hexagons are nested.

A friend at my quilt group has been doing a big rose using the same hexagons. The last time I saw it it was nearly finished. It might be ready for our quilt show in August.

You can see tiny sample pages in the middle of the individual hexagon collection pages. The following shows both the rotary and scissors cutting pages ...
