I usually cut 4 layers at a time. When you fold fabric, be careful to have every fold *exactly* parallel to the Shape Cut line. This means all of your cuts will be exactly 90 degrees from the fold. This is important in order not to have bends in the fabric. You can test this out with a piece of paper. Fold the paper, then cut a strip that is not 90 degrees. The further away from 90 degress the cut is, the deeper the bend will be when you unfold the paper. When you cut exactly 90 degrees from the fold (meaning exactly perpendicular to the fold), the unfolded strip will be even. It is pretty easy to line up one fabric fold with the cutting mat; it is more difficult to align 2 folds, as each fold has to be exactly the same distance from the other at every point.
