I just ordered these:
Plastic Hexagon English Paper Piecing Templates Grandmother's Flower Garden | eBay
I ordered the 1.5 inch ones. I have never made hexagons before. I am thinking that the 1.5 inch measurement refers to the length of a side rather than to the diameter, right?
Anyway, I was wondering if these would be a good size to use on charm squares or if that would waste too much fabric. The tutorial, which is here:
The Scrappy Appleyard: Hexagon Tutorial with PLASTIC TEMPLATES
says to fold over three-eighths of an inch of fabric on each side (rather than a fourth of an inch),
Has anyone used these plastic templates? I don't have a sewing room or a dedicated place to sew right now. I thought these might make a good hand-sewing project to do while watching TV.
Any comments or information (positive or negative) would be most appreciated!
