Question cutting for Kaleidoscope impossible
How in the world do you cut through eight layers of fabric at one time making a stack and whack or kaleidoscope? To make matters worse I have a dull rotary blade. However, I don't think it's possible, but will certainly take suggestions from my good old quilting friends.

OK this question was not the brightest. I was most fortunate and blessed to find a new blade and now the cutting is going better. Thank-you all for your wise wisdom. I tried with the blade I had, and searched for a new blade and the magic began.

A new blade is like cutting through butter. I found the secret to cutting accurately was loads of flat headed pins and not running over them.
Sew together in pairs and last across whole radius I went from the centre outwards and was much more accurate and flatter.
