If you have 8 markings between each inch, it is the one before the 7 inch mark. If you have 4 markings between each inch, it will be between the last marking and the 7 inch mark. I cut mine 7 inches and then when they are sewn
together, I'll square them off to 6 1/2 (1/4 all around, to finish 6 inches) Hope this helps.
