I don't use the papers either, just sew by hand.
is actually very easy. I am just finishing the border on a queen size for my bed.
I have an accucut studio and cut the shapes with it.
A woman just bought the cut hexs from me and is using the papers from the website mentioned.
my hexs are 1 1/2" on a side so you would by the 1" on a side papers( to leave 1/4" on each end for the seam)
I hope this makes sense!

I bought mine at JoAnn's with a 50% off coupon about a year ago.

I had a hard time removing the plastic ones. A quilting friend showed me how easy it was to sew and join the hexes all at the same time without using the templates. It's so much easier. She said that was the way her great grandmother taught her mother and her mother taught her. I'll try to explain how I do it. It's very basic.
Join two hexes right sides together and stitch 1/4 seam starting 1/4 from the end and ending 1/4 from the end. Add another hex to another side of one of the hexes already sewn and repeat. It's fast and no stitches show at all. No basting or whip stitching.

That's where I bought mine too. Very reasonable and they give good service.
