tube quilting
#1
I have watched this on u tube. I cut fabric using a regular ruler with a 45 degree angle. My problem is that every triangle I cut comes out to be a different size. What am I doing wrong? Or can someone help me? Thank you.

Some thoughts ...
* are your seams all sewn evenly, thus making your tubes equally wide?
* is your ruler slip sliding around?
You've been given some good hints above.
Have you watched the Missouri Star videos? You might pick up some extra hints there.

Are you putting the ruler line on the seam line or the edge of the fabric? That makes a difference if you mix them up. I don't use a triangle ruler I use a square ruler, much easier and you can't mess up the measurement.
