Now thats a tip you can use, except when cutting across the whole width, what do you do when the rottary cutter reaches the wall? you have some that isnt cut right? Am I being dumb?
Judy, I usually do what Cathe suggests and fold it up into quarters, then you are using the centre of your cutting mat..although there have been times where I have just cut so far, then move the fabric down and realign the ruler with the previously cut edge....works for me :D
