You will line up the squared edge of the fabric to the mark on the ruler at which you want to cut, i.e. 2 1/2". I hold the ruler down with my right hand and cut with the left. My cut 2 1/2" fabric will obviously be under the ruler and I continue going from right to left lining up the edge of the fabric with the mark on the ruler I want to cut at.

Ok, clear as mud I'm sure. LOL. I would check the internet too, there are many places to find lefty instructions. That's just how I do it.

From another lefty - the above is how I cut fabric, too. Instead of flipping the fabric around after squaring it upon the left side, I rotate the mat and then cut my strips from the right.

I do find my self turning the mat around and I guess that is what works. I cnnot cut right handed at all. Thank for all you tips.
