If it is something small that needs to be precise - use your rulers. Something larger, I use the lines on my table 36 x 60 mat. For instance, cutting 9" and 27" pieces for pillowcases - the mat is certainly close enough. I would use rulers for squaring up squares, though.

I agree. Also, don't always use the same brand of ruler. I use what works best at the time.
