I love hexies but only glue the centre with a small dab to keep it in place while basting them.... I enjoy anything that is portable handwork.... I also am a bit concerned as to whether there would ever be any chemical reaction with the fabric - one day!

Sometimes the prep can be as relaxing as the sewing. I have no trouble ironing glued hexies, and find that a quick iron can help release the papers.
