Can someone please tell me how to cut my fabric without the ruler moving? I am finishing a quilt I started when I took a class in 2003. I threw up my hands then, and don't want to give in to that again. HELP! I asked my question in the wrong forum before. Sorry.
I didn't read thru' all the replies, so forgive me if this is a repeat.... :wink:
When you are holding your ruler down, ALWAYS keep your little finger OFF of the ruler & down onto your mat. If you're using a long ruler, you might also need to pause & move your ruler hand to make sure it doesn't pivot around your hand when the cutter gets farther along.

Good Luck Ida! :D
