I hang my larger yardage and and mark size and width and the 1 1/2 under fold and mark. Works gread for seeing and of course had a best buddy to help me. ( her idea by the way ) and smaller pc's cut to different sq's 5" 3" 4 1/2 " 2 1/2 " some binding strips when width was not alot. Have fun with it and you will not believe how much easier it is this way. Love looking for what I need for a project now !!
