I thought it was just a typo at first, but you made the mistake several times. "you're" means "you are". "your" is possesive, as in yours, not mine. So:<br /><br />"If your using Fat Quarters..." should be, "If you're (you are) using Fat Quarters..."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6706014191709190790.post-47779027965922694662012-08-08T00:40:16.858+10:002012-08-08T00:40:16.858+10:00Just an extra tip: you never want to cut using the...Just an extra tip: you never want to cut using the lines on the cutting mat. When cutting mats are shipped, especially when its hot out. The mats can warp making your lines on your mat incorrect thus your fabric will not be cut to your intended measurements. You always use your ruler to measure and cut. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6706014191709190790.post-75376109994479569652012-05-27T05:33:42.083+10:002012-05-27T05:33:42.083+10:00I have been quilting for years, and never knew why...I have been quilting for years, and never knew why some of my strips seem a little off. I found out why from this tutorial. I never flip my fabric, and lay the ruler ON the strip that needs to be cut! No wonder my strips are goofy! Thank you so much! My quilting is better already!

This tutorial was very helpful, as up to now, I've been cutting my fabric from the wrong side ie. the piece I wanted to use was open to the ruler slipping and me cutting a chunk out of it. Thanks SO much for putting me right on this aspect of cutting out.<br /><br />JudiJudihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00524842310373619488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6706014191709190790.post-10762280030518687272012-01-21T08:50:35.923+11:002012-01-21T08:50:35.923+11:00Just started cutting today - bought the same size ...Just started cutting today - bought the same size ruler as you have, and already had the mat and rotary cutter. I recently started my first quilt, from a partwork here in the UK called the Art of Quilting, which is a sampler. Tried cutting out the patterns from their fabric and it was horrendous - should have just done squares like this, and then cut from there! Really worried about starting sewing that one, as if my cutting isn't perfect, the seam allowances will be wrong, and then the blocks won't all be the same size! I've decided to do this one first to improve my skills. I've cut my first fat quarter - wasn't as bad as I expected, although I do find it tricky to stop the fabric from moving under the ruler when I'm getting it lined up. Any tips? Thanks again :)letsmakecupcakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14778714269026091251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6706014191709190790.post-80377123951637677592011-06-11T22:32:36.234+10:002011-06-11T22:32:36.234+10:00Thank you for this post - it really was helpful to...Thank you for this post - it really was helpful to me!Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08951927006136277731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6706014191709190790.post-60635512633920417752011-04-23T15:33:52.274+10:002011-04-23T15:33:52.274+10:00Thanks Rebecca!
