In order to get it I have to lay the ruler cutting line just a tad to the left of the fabric and also use a Scant 1/4. Then I worked on me 301 that I take to classes. I think I have done everything I need to but I have Aurifil thread and will use that. I think that will make all the difference. Thanks everyone for your help.
I do not deliberately cut "a smidge" larger - that is just a result of the distance the rotary blade cuts from the edge of the ruler - so I measured it to see how much that distance is.
