I have never had a problem cutting four pieces of fabric with a new rotary blade. I open up the fabric. Fold the length of the fabric and SEW the selvages together on one side. Fold again and sew the selvages together (same side) again. Press the fabric. You now have a piece of fabric that's straight on one side, folded and pressed. Start cutting on the side that's unsewn and work your way across the fabric. Unless you have something larger than a king-size (104 inch length), you only have about 3 yards of fabric (9 feet) folded into a four thickness piece of fabric that's less than 30 inches long.
