I measured and cut but My cutter went wonky on me and I've already messed up the 1st square.

I've got several more to go and since I'm working from a kit, I'm not sure I'll have enough material to make mistakes.

After that one went south on me I quit and came straight to you girls. I'm sure some of you can advise me on how to measure and then cut just one. I know how to cut strip and THEN cut squares, but I have never had to cut just ONE 5 1/4" square from several of my fabrics. Yikes!

Help!
I'm having the same problem. I have a quilt pattern I want to start with but I need the background to be cut into 10" squares and I mess up every single time. My wrist isn't strong enough to cut accurately at all anymore so I'm wondering if Accuquilt makes a 10 inch die? Anyone know?
