Hi quilters, I am a busy teacher getting back to quilting because I'm off for the summer and have tackled a big project with a lot of cutting. I'm using plastic templates for the first time and find that the rotary cutter slices off bits of it every once in a while so I have to cut new ones. What am I doing wrong. I have hundreds of pieces yet to cut. Thanks.

My avatar is my Maine Coon, Finnigan when he was a kitten, believe it or not. He was only 6 months old when that pic was taken. I have 4 other cats too.
