Use a holepunch to make a hold in the center of each paper. Iron them waxed side face-down onto the back of your fabric, leaving enough room between each for seam allowances. Cut out your fabric hexies with the papers on them remembering to cut your hexies with a seam allowance added, baste the fabric onto the paper as you normally would. After you have your hexies basted and sewn together into your flowers and have removed the basting stitches, you can remove the paper by simply slipping your needle point into the hole and pop the paper out. The papers can be used multiple times. Sorry if this sounds confusing. It really does save time and works well. It does not leave any residue on the fabric.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00869790007891713270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1093770359556063824.post-44966956218921966662013-11-29T12:18:13.064-08:002013-11-29T12:18:13.064-08:00Hi.
