So you can cut from about 3 1/2 to about 4 1/4 but not 4. You don't want to hit the repeat right on and 4 is a multiple of 24.

They should both work. Line up the line that says 60 degrees ( not the thin side) with the bottom edge of the strip and that will give you your angle. Try on a piece of paper even if you just use a pencil to draw it out.

That is exactly how I did it to get it to work in my brain. I cut it out of paper 1st.

It is easier than maybe messing up the fabric. You can use newsprint or something else cheap. Just clean the ruler before using it on fabric if you use newpaper as the ink sometimes sticks to things it shouldn't.
