Thank you ladies. I have used the larger hexies and done two quilts with those but I wanted to play with something smaller.

I know that eQuilter stocks this brand of fusible leave in hexes but at the moment only have in stock the 1inch ones, and I have seen the 2 inch ones but I dont know if if they stock the 1/2inch ones.

Pam, I like the idea of having a template.

Ritzy, check these out.

Jilly--those look like they would be perfect. Wonder what shipping on those would be...hmmm. Maybe I will see if we having any thing like that in country. Thanks Jilly.

In the stores I had only seen the one that has 3 sizes, one hexagon each on the die. But I looked on the site and I see that they do have exactly what I was saying. Thanks! I'll have to think about that...

There are Go and Studio hexagon dies. The Studio has one that cuts Ritzy sized hexagons...finishes at 1/2 inch, and cuts many many cuts at one time. There are other sizes, too.

Ritzy have you thought of buying the lazer pre cut ones, you leave them in and they sofen, you can get your 1/2 inch ones plus other sizes from this web site in Australia - http://www.hugsnkisses.net

1/2 inch precut hexagons - 100 per pack $5.50 Australian
1/2 inch precut hexagons - bulk pack approx 1000 per pack $40.00 Australian

Thanks Rita--I am trying to get the pages to print out--have I said lately that I hate Windows 8? If I can get them to print I will try to figure out how to make them smaller. Again--thank you.

Ritzy I don't know if this would be any use to you but I thought it was interesting.

Hmmm. Might be a good suggestion for an AccuQuilt die. They could honeycomb them together for the die because you would never mis-cut.

Rita, I tried gluing the hexie that I printed on Stable Stuff. I didn't like having the edges folded and glued so I undid that. I am not happy with how the Stable Stuff is sticking but it does give me a guide for piecing. I think with the next hexies I print out, I will put it on Decor Bond--then I can just iron it on the fabric. The biggest trial I have is that I am not being very successful in my cutting the hexies out. The only thing I could find online was 1/2 hexies that were lined up like a honey comb. So, if I mess up with cutting one--it affects the one next to it. I would be happier if they were separated with a little space between them so I only mess up one at a time. Is it fiddly? Not really--I'm just a little inept. If they made 1/2 hexies that were die cut and had iron on adhesive on them--they would be too expensive to afford but they sure would be nice. No picture yet, but soon.

Thanks Becky I haven't tried a glue stick but I think I will now.

Ritzy are you ready to show us anything yet? 1/2" eh? That's very small. Is it very fiddly?

rita - this beautiful!!
btw, i use glue stick instead sawing the fabric on the paper pattern.
