This is not bad, but when I cut my fabric, the bulk is on the left -- I cut from right to left. If I don't use the shape cutter, I use two rulers when I cut the fabric.
I cut right to left also. I think it is because I watched TV shows to learn how to quilt and I never mirror imaged what I saw on the screen when the hostess's were rotary cutting their fabric. I like the double ruler method too.
