Joann fabrics now carry the Fiskers hexi punch in the scrapbooking section. They come in three sizes and the package states it can be used for fabric and paper. They are on sale this week for 40% off, nocoupon needed.

I use a tweezers to take out the papers.I reuse them as I do not sew through the paper.Hope this helps. judy j

I've had the punch in my online shopping cart at Joann for days and the coupon code won't work for the free shipping. I'm really looking forward to when i get it all figured out and then i can make a take a long sewing kit. This is what i need to work on hand sewing in small amounts because i am absolutely terrible at it.

Just so you know : when I was looking for the paper punch, I emailed Fiskars to get the dimensions of the Hexies. I explained in my email that I was seeking the punch to make paper templates for a quilting project. They emailed me back with one sentence: "Our punches are not designed for fabric".
