Just to clarify why some of us don't use the markings on the cutting mat......one would end up with deep cuts at each even number, whereas when you use your ruler the cutting line is more likely to be at different spots on the mat. At least that's what I think!

Don't get me wrong I love her and all she does for quilters, but why does she do this? One of the things I love about her is that she does not intimidate new quilters.
