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.
If you properly square your fabric at the outset and use the June Taylor ruler as directed, the ruler will keep the integrity of the square...so no resquaring every couple of strips. The day I read about JT on this board and followed the recommendation to go out and buy one, was the day my quilt life turned heavenly!
