Basting Hexies for EPP

Learn two basting techniques for English Paper Piecing - Thread Basting and Glue Basting
I demonstrate the techniques on 1" and 1.5" hexagons, but the methods are the same on any size hexagon and any shape.
If you are here from a link inside one of my patterns, thank you for your support!

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!

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

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.
