Don't know what sizes your dies are, but if one of them is 1/2" wider per side than one of the others (1/4" seam allowance on each edge) then I think you should be good to go with your plan of "slicing and dicing".

I thought I was pretty clever. I have the large hex die so I thought well just cut a lot of them and then cut in half, the hex is so large the 1/4 seam allowance won't be noticed and it wasn't but I forgot to mark the straight of grain before cutting in half. What a mess. I had bias on every seam. LOL. All the pieces went in the stuffing for pet bed bag.

Just remember to allow for seam allowances on your cutpieces.

Well, I finally got motivated and just went in and tried it. The answer is no - none of the hexies cut up into 60 degree triangles will fit the other hexie shapes! LOL I am still sick and foggy but I'm going to break down and just do the math and make some triangles to fit. Or buy the die so I can make many triangles that fit. LOL

The paperwork that comes with each die usually tells you how to lay that fab so SOG is in proper alignment for cutting.
I use a silver sharpie to mark my dies......... When you cut a hex into its segments you certainly are going to get a lot of bias edges. If you are EPP it really shouldn't matter much....machine piecing...careful handling.......like with MSQC designs...... |
