Can I ask why you put paper on top of fabric? Are you supposed too?
I haven't used mine yet, so would like to know about paper.
Thanks,

The instructions suggest using paper, but didn't say why. I thought it sounded stupid so didn't do it with the first several cuts of 5" squares. It turns out that the mat will stretch the fabric if you don't use paper and you end up with an UNsquare square. With the paper, the mat will slip a little along the paper and not stretch the fabric. You might not have to worry about it with strips, but I haven't tried the strips yet.
OK, that makes sense!! Thank you, I guess I better read all the instructions before I start. I bought a lot of dies, so they may differ.
