Two questions: do you mark every single hexagon?
Also, you don't tie a knot at all? Just one back stitch?

I mark every hexagon. Maybe after a while I won't have to but I'm new to hand piecing.
Yes, Tie a not before and each time you end off.

Made a major change on the tutorial from cardboard to metal template. Posting here so it's not missed.
[h=2]UPDATE: NEW Step 2, 3, and 4[/h]A week after I made and used the cardboard template with holes I received ARDCO Hexagon Window Metal Template.


It’s twice as fast to mark seeing lines on hexes! And super for marking fussy cuts! I purchased the 1″ metal template for the 1.25″ die cut fabric. Fits perfect and will not slide.
I ordered mine over the phone from ARDCO (757)553-8689 (trouble ordering from web site)
