    1. Cut your squares on point by drawing a line perpendicular to the selvedge or folded edge of your fabric and lining two of the square points up on the line. 2. You can also start by cutting the end of your fabric off at a 45 degree angle and then line one side of your square up even with the edge you just cut. Ann in TN

    Thank you. You made it understandable. I think that I'll like #2, but will try both before I know for sure.
