My biggest problem is squaring the material. Like I have a lot of material that friends have sent or just given too me around here. Well one was a 100% cotton fitted sheet and I don't know where too start. I can's seem too hold the template down and not let it slip. AND I can only turn certain ways since I don't have a left hip so therefore the whole thing slips and slides and today I cut one piece so many times that it is down too nothing. Yet it started out at 6in. How do you know how too turn your material too start and I really think that this sheet is not 100% cotton but I didn't look at when she first gave it too me in a bag of skirts too cut up. Just like these skirts. Where do I start or know how too turn my fabric too cut squares. Sometimes I get so stressed that I just walk off and leave it and think I may never be able to master this. the sewing I can do, but really having a hard time cutting my patterns. Any suggestions!
