Thank you for showing both the trimmed and untrimmed fabric. I like to use mini charm squares with the 1" hexies and it's a bit of a pain to trim them, and I know in the past I didn't always, so I was trying to figure out if one way was the "right" way. Just seeing you doing it both ways made me feel better!
I do this 21/2" square way , with thread basting and press the resulting hexagon, no central glue though, then remove the paper insert and then sew the pressed hexagons together. It seems to work very well. We often find our own techniques without necessarily obeying the rules!
Thanks for your comment. You can find the glue here: www.crafttableorlando.com/english-paper-piecing/sewline-water-soluble-glue-pen-blue and the precut papers here: www.crafttableorlando.com/english-paper-piecing/paper-pieces-1-hexagons-small-pack-100-pieces

Thank you! I am glad you found it helpful. Of course, there is never just one "right" way ;-))

Thank you, Rene’!
You are so welcome, Stephanie!
Help, please. I can never find the links to get the good stuff. I'd like to get the glue and pre-cut centers, but where are the links?.. Thank you.
