Not me, After 25+ years in an upholstery shop (before retiring) all I did was straight lines on a single layer of fabric. Back then I didn't have rotary cutters, just a really nice pair of WISS 12" shears. Besides I am not in such a big hurry that I need to power cut anything at my age.....lol

Nice tutorial video, thanks for sharing.

Good information in proper rotary cutting. I do not power cut though as I seldom have all equal cuts.

saw this a few days ago a tried it right away, loved it. Especially liked that the "bowing" mystery is solved.

Interesting concepts. I am never in a rush to get any of my quilts done.

I don't think it's about being in a rush to get done cutting but to be accurate.

I use a similar system with my June Tailor Shape Cut but not that many layers.

I don't think I would ever try 16 layers at a time, but I love the way she explains the reasons for doing each step. Thanks for sharing. I'm sure my cutting technique will be improved next time.
