Use lots of flat headed pins to keep the fabric from shifting.
If you put in lots, you can pull out any that get in the way of the cutter...
If you draw the lines for cutting with a sliver of soap on the top layer, then you can see where to put the pins - not on the lines of course....and you will see any mistakes before you cut them. With a new blade, you can easily cut 8 layers. J
