Here’s a Tip

There are many methods for preparing the hexies for English paper piecing. I like to use a standard hole punch to make a hole in the center of each paper. That way, you can pin through the fabric to hold the paper without having to pierce the paper itself. When you are ready to remove the paper, simply use the tip of your scissors to pop it out. Also, many quilters prefer to use a fabric glue stick to temporarily attach the fabric instead of thread basting.
