[QUOTE=pocoellie;5944839]You should have at least a 12 inch repeat.

.... Place the pins so you don't cut over them with your rotary cutter. Another method I like to use, I pin, then I put a dab of Elmer's Washable school glue where the pin is, then press with my fingers, then go to the next layer, etc. The reason I now do this is because it seemed that no matter where I put my pins, I had to move them, when it came to cutting

I like your idea of using elmers glue on the match points. I use a needle and embroidery thread to go down through the layers and knot on both sides. If I don't use all of it prepared layers I fold that up and put it back for another project. Elmers glue might be faster than the needle and thread though. I'll try that next time.
