They do make one that is used to cut single fold fabric, it has a 22" or 23" cutting area. Otherwise, you carefully fold the fabric in half twice to cut.

I've had one of these for over 10 years and I've never used it. I guess it's about time I drag it out and try it.

Love my shape cut ruler! Always surprised when I find out someone doesn't have one or know what it is. Once I show them how quick it is for cutting, they usually say they will be buying one asap.

Its a good idea that when you finish cutting across once, it is a good idea to true up your edge again. You will no doubt find a little uneveness.

I agree with you Linda, and to avoid that problem I just line up the zero line at the beginning of the fabric and trim it even that way. I just finished cutting many strips for the double wedding ring pattern and they work perfectly.
