I am new to quilting and purchased a 13"x18" mat for rotary cutting my squares. I need to cut 11" squares, but am having difficulty cutting this large square on the small mat.
Are there any tricks you have learned to be able to use this size mat effectively or do I need to buy a larger mat?
I would like to layer the fabric to be able to cut more than one square at a time, but have not been able to make a cut yet! This is very intimidating. I know, I should just bite the bullet and proceed but for some reason I just keep procrastinating.
