Precision cutting question
Greetings! I noticed that the lines on my creative grids rulers (and most rulers) are about 1/16". So here is my dilemma: when you cut shapes for piecing, which side of the ruler line do you use? Or do you attempt to center the ruler line on the edge of the fabric? I know this seems trivial, but now that I'm cutting 60 degree diamonds, it makes a big difference! I end up tossing about 30% of the diamonds that I'm cutting because they are just ever so slightly wonky. I know from experience that if the original shapes aren't perfect, when I sew the blocks they can end up being way off.
