IMHO, it would be helpful to have a chart of the measurements of the side and the width across.

Does anyone know why me hexies start out with even sides and the end up uneven? When sewing, I have to keep turning them to find a matching side. Does anybody else have this problem?

You may be cutting the paper irregularly if you are cutting them by hand, OR you may be slightly scrunching the edge of the paper when you turn to baste. I know I was doing that, until I started starching the snot out of the fabric. HTH. Faye
