Hi. I'm making a quilt that calls for 3" X 1 5/8" parallelograms from a 1 5/8" strip of fabric. But how do I do that? I know how to make a 45 degree cut, but can't figure out how to measure the second 45 degree cut to make it a parallelogram. I've watched several YouTube videos but they all are different and one says measure 3" from first angle cut to the next, but that doesn't fit into the pattern.. way too big. Another one says measure 1 5/8" from first 45 degree cut to the next and to disregard the 3"... so confusing .... any easy way to do it?

Thanks!
