Class members all cut six strips of 2" fabric. When we measured the last few strips they were off from the first two. Then we cut six more and resquared the fabric every two cuts. The strips were all the same.
Is this using an Omnigrid ruler and rotary cutter or the Shape Cut ruler?
Do you know what caused the variation?
