Now, with more accurate cutting and an adjusted seam allowance, I am getting perfect 2" squares, with only the dog ear to trim off. This should speed me up, since it was the trimming of all these lopsided squares that was eating up my time. Woo hoo! (I'm going to start angling my cutter more with my regular ruler, too, as I think this is why my strips always seemed to be a hair too wide.)
I am so glad you figured out your issue. It seemed to me I needed to angle my rotary cutter a little more with the EA ruler too. Will have to pay closer attention to it and whenever we need to use the Companion Angle ruler too!
