Tina,
You will also find you have better luck with keeping everything straight and square if you cut 4 or fewer layers at a time. I find that I achieve the best results with only 1-2 layers and since you can't piece a perfect quilt (not that mine are perfect by any stretch of the imagination! :oops: ) with imperfectly cut pieces, I don't cut more then 2 layers at a time. I have a "need for speed" that I have found I cannot satisfy with quilting...I can either do fast or good, but I can't do good fast.
