I've tried several times (over the years) to make a quilt but never with great success...wonky seams seem to be my trademark
Anyway, I'm taking the Cut To It Craftsy class and as I was trying to apply what the instructor was demonstrating i noticed that although my ruler stays put when I cut the "free" fabric (the part not under the ruler) seems to shift.
My ruler is an 6 x 24 one that I've had for 15 years (yes, that's how long ago I started attempting quilting). Is it possible that it's somehow warped and needs replacing? I burnt a notch out of it by mistake a few years back. I just use the non-notched side but I'm thinking perhaps the melted bit is unbalancing the ruler?
I *may* be seeking a reason to replace the old ruler
...or a reason to justify my lack of skills...
I use a sharp blade on my rotary cutter btw
