You can print any size hexes you want. Then I staple about 4-5 more sheets on the back and cut them out. They are stiff enough to hold the shape and last for a lot of uses before they get too soft. Pin to my fabric with a pin on the right side and proceed as in your great tute.<br /><br />I am doing a scrappy 1" thing now but have run into a problem. It is about 4' wide now but four sides have 16 hexes and two have 14 hexes and I am trying to figure out how to make it symmetrical. Any suggestions?

When I read my pattern instructions I still couldn't figure out what I was supposed to do. I searched several hexagon tutorials, and in my opinion, yours is by far the best. It made the instructions in my pattern make sense, and I really appreciate the detailed step-by-step photos.
