I don't cut my fabric into hexi shapes but into squares about a 1/2" larger than my finished hexi will be. I make a master sheet of my hexi template then run off several copies at the office store, staple to card stock (any kind of advertisements etc that is card stock weight). I staple in each hexi so it does not shift and use three or four pieces of card stock at a time. This is just my way of doing it and as others have said there are so many variations you just need to find what works best for you, maybe a variation of many ideas put together.

Like Humbird, I use the method of sewing circles into hexies as described in the book : Quick and easy hexies.

Ths is so fast and so easy I will never sew a hexie any other way!!

I don't stitch baste anymore, I use a Sewline glue pencil to glue baste and I get a lot more done that way. When they have dried for a while, the papers pop right out. I print mine off the computer onto printer paper and cut them up and glue them down. Much faster and easier for me.

What's the best way to handle pressing with this method?
