The best idea I got to help with cutting is to put some kind of skid-grip on the bottom of my rulers. I bought little dots for mine, and even used the piece that framed the dots on one ruler. That keeps them from "creeping" while I am trying to cut. Also start with one or two layers until you can do that accurately, then work up to more layers. I will cut a maximum of four layers myself, anymore than that and my accuracy suffers. Others cut up to eight layers, but that just makes me waste fabric.
