I'll tell you how NOT to do it. The last (only) time I did it I layed it out on my husbands shop floor and used a 12' long aluminum strip as a guide with heavy pieces of steel placed strategically along the strip to hold it down. Then I scooted along the floor and cut the fabric. Did one helluva number on that rotary cutting blade against the concrete floor let me tell you!!
Oh sheesh! What WERE you thinking? I'm not laughing at you, hopefully with you. I sort of did the same thing using a piece of scrap linoleum to cut on. :lol:
I am laughing at you and with you, I literally sat here and laughed til my eyes watered!!! Loved it, something I would have tried before reading on this forum!! :lol: :lol:
I am weeping, too! Hysterical story, TonnieLoree! Thanks for sharing!

Somewhere is your book, there should be an "oops" section and ways to correct the "oops"!
