Don't feel bad. It took me almost two hours folding a yard and a half of fabric in half so I could get ready to rotary cut it. First time I tried the selvage wasn't lined up in the middle so the fold wasn't straight when I ironed it. Had to open up and iron out the fold. Pinned the selvages together, but the fabric was twisted up. Finally got it right the third time. Went to go cut off a clean edge and my ruler slipped. Had to recut. Just not my day for fabric prep.
