Is anyone else like me?
I have a big mat, but still like to do it the way you said (fold the fabric twice). I have one the clear rulers, I think it is probably 6.5x12.5 that has the rough spots on the back that keeps it from slipping around. I use that one more than any others. I even put little sandpaper spots on my long ruler to keep it from slipping, and I still like to cut a shorter cut.
