I went to Lowe's and got a pkg of clear bumps. They stick to bottom of ruler and really help hold them in place.
Also, I use a ruler to find where I want to cut, place another ruler against it, move the first ruler and then cut. I think that means I measure to right of ruler, but cut to left of other ruler. I am right handed, but since using two rulers I get straight lines. Maybe some of us need to measure on one side & cut on the other. I think we all have to find what works for us individually. I cannot fold fabric more than once or I get the wonky angle at the fold.

I will watch the tutorial, too, and practice, practice, practice,....but already, this is easier.
