Here is a tutorial for making hexies from circles of fabrics. http://devotedtoquilting.wordpress.c...ays-of-scraps/

when I was using the template plastic and now that I am using the card stock, I don't baste thru the papers, only on the back. I don't have to remove any of my basting stitches when I am done with my quilt. I remove my templates after I sew a section to the main body of the quilt.

At my guild this week (we meet weekly) I saw the book Patchwork of the Crosses by Lucy Boston. I'm trying those honeycomb hexies. I finally got EQ6 to work n my windows 8 laptop after changing some settings on it, so I have drawn out one for a template. My handwork needs practice, lots of it I can go so far, then tendoonitis in my thumb flares & I have to stop for a few days. I'll get it done eventually.

You are a girl of my heart! Just purchased a pack of 100 1" hexies to get me started. I'm so excited. The thing I like is it is so portable; even easier than hand-piecing on the go. Fabric squares, hexies, a pin, needle and thread and scissors!

I too have been addicted to EPP. I am making a project with 1/4 inch hexies (Quilts from Grandmother's Flower Garden) and the Sewline Glue pen is great for basting these. I also have a project going for a bedrunner from Sue Daley's book New English Paper Piecing called Rings of Friendship and the glue pen is great for hurrying up the process of basting these pieces.
