These are going to help me make a beautiful hexi quilt

Using this for EPP quilt, sizing is consistent between batches (I order as I need more), easy to use and great quality.

I received my hexagons today and have tested about 12 to ensure they were correct in size and they are! I have even started using the new hexagons! I enjoy sewing theses and using the pre cut paper hexagons makes it easier!

I am making a hexagon charm quilt. I needed something to sew by hand while recovering from surgery. I am using all my scrap fabrics and have made over 300 hexagons so far. I know you can reuse them but I ordered another package of 300 because I want to keep making them before I assemble the quilt. Using this product makes it very easy to baste over the hexagons and sewing them together is also easy and fun.

These are FABULOUS!!! Always accurate & of nice heavy card stock. I have bought many sets & each one was fabulous! I had one problem & they bent over backward to make it right!!! I LOVE this seller!!! The 200 GSM (similar to 70lb Astrobrite) stock used for these is NOT the kind you would sew thru & then rip out. I punch a hole in the center of the hexies with a hole punch for easier removal later. It is the kind you sew together & then removed once all the pieces around it have been sewn together (all sides of the one you want to remove are sewn to another piece see the pics). I buy Jellyrolls I like (I get overwhelmed trying to find stuff that matches). DO NOT wash it by machine (disintegrates-too small). Cut off the selvage (it shrinks at a different rate when washed & messes up your finished piece) & cut the strips into 2&1/2" squares. I fabric glue ONE side to a hex template, baste the 2 1/2" square of fabric (no, I don't trim the sides - I just fold it over to make sharp corners & do a couple of extra stitches if it seems like it is too close to the edge). When I have a bunch of them all basted, I sort it into groups for my "flowers" or diamonds & put each set into a little snack zip-lock so I dont forget the layout. Then I sew (tiny stitches on the edges NOT thru the template) the petals around the center piece & remove the centerpiece with a crochet hook thru the punched hole. THEN I stitch the sides of the flower together WITHOUT the middle piece. I can fold the sides together without folding the hexie template. I can reuse these many times. I have also dry ironed them so they go flat again if they are heavily used. I put a kitchen towel under & over them so the left over glue didnt stick to my iron or the board. BUT if you arent as fastidious as me it isnt that bad. So far I have bought about 2000 of them to make a queen quilt, but you can probably get away with less if you dont want everything all basted before you start to sew them together. I use single strand Gutermann 100% cotton thread & the equivalent of 2 jelly rolls & 4 yards of white fabric to surround my flowers. BUT that is just me.
