firstly, if you have the Sewline pen with the glue refills it is FINE, you will have NO problems, it is an excellent product and designed specifically for this use...i use mine for all paper piecing, and some applique if im not doing real needle turn...believe me, it saves so much time and will not damage anything...also, please dont leave your hexy papers in forever, you'll be more motivated if you do it in roundish clusters at a time then remove all the papers except from the outer edge hexys, then you can re-use the papers several times, saves purchasing more...if youre doing a random pattern this is a cynch, just make a flower and go round and round til its about 12" across...still very transportable, but the true pleassure of EPP is the look and feel of it as you sew it, you'll love it when the papers are removed...also, i advise against trying to make it never repeating a fabric...you will go insane!!!...believe me if you repeat a fabric 20 times no one will notice in a quilt of over 2500 hexys!!!...
be patient and youll love the experience!!!...huggs, pami
