Thank you so much for this very informative video. Wow! Been quilting many years and was always saying I never can cut straight. Gonna try it.

Looks efficient, but I'd be afraid that, instead of making a mistake with a miscut of one fabric, if I stacked up 4, that's 4x the mistake. Also, without ironing the fabric, it seems like all those creases would affect accuracy,

My friend cuts like this, and we joke that something gets lost in the translation between my watching her, and then trying to implement it on my end. I wash my fabric, and iron, but haven't had great success! Operator error!!

Maybe power cutting by Nancy Rolfsema?

That was a wonderful tutorial. I like the way they off-set the folds to cut multiple layers. But when you do a Stack 'n' whack, you have to push your cutter into a layer of eight fabrics with all edges lined up. That's when I set the cutter into the fabric about an inch ahead of the edge. Press down and cut toward yourself to the end, then cut forward to the top. If you try to push the cutter blade into a layer of eight fabrics, it's too likely that they will bunch up and not be accurate.

My lands, she must be paid by the word. I could not watch the whole thing.

I like the way I cut and will just stick with that. Cutting too many layers would guarantee mistakes. I will cut up to 4 layers at once.

Check out Leah Day, she does a lot of quilts, she had a technique to make sure your fabric is square and on grain before you cut it. there are also you tubes on this
