EPP- hexagons

Just s few pics to show you how I sew and prepare my hexagons. I like to use the Sewline glue pen on my papers. I hold the hexagons together with a wonderclip as I sew. I also use wonder clips to hold batches of hexies together ready to take with me  to  sew.

English paper piecing tip for newbies


Firstly, I am reasonably new to English paper piecing, so many of you will know far more than me, but some folk are new to it and have asked  how I go about it. 
 No template ? 
Just a little tip for cutting shapes for epp. 
Pic 1. I have four layers of fabrics. I stapled the paper template through the layers. 
Pic 2. I used my rotary cutter lining up 1/4" seam allowance to make  the straight cuts.
Pic 3. I then used scissors to cut the curve. 
Now all ready for glueing ( or tacking if you prefer).
