8.
It was a beast and I went through blades lickity split. I was careful to keep the shape cut from sliding, made several passes until I couldn't hear the fabric cut anymore. Still had to snip some threads with the scizzor tip.
4 wasn't real bad and I prefer 2.
I have to depend on my shape cut because I tend to let a long edge ruler slide when I am making the pass and I tend to rub the ruler with the rotary blade, ruining the blade and ruler.

Usually 2, sometimes 4, but not more. It kind of depends on the fabric and what size/type piece or strip I'm cutting. Even though all my fabric is 100% cotton, certain ones lend themselves well to cutting 4 layers at once, others not so much. I also attempt to get more use out of a cutting blade than I should; having a new blade in the cutter makes a difference.

I have cut 8 with a dull blade and it was a mess. I can do 8 easy with a new/ sharp blade. I try to stick with 4-5 depending on what shape i am doing. if you can sharpen or have a new blade i would recommend it for more than 2 layers.
