I didn't mark anything. I just used the ruler and the rotary cutter. It would be very helpful if you could cut at a table that you could walk around. That way, you wouldn't have to move the fabric. My cutting table is against the wall. Next time, I will set up another table temporarily so I could walk around and not slide the fabric. Trust me, I'm the weakest link in this quilting/sewing stuff and it was easier than I thought. The cutting was the hardest, but once you do it (start it) it makes more sense.
