I then lay the fabric on my cutting mat with some hanging over the edge of the table. I use my ruler to trim away 1/2" on both sides of the fabric (x4) the length of my ruler. Advance the fabric and cut again. It takes longer but I have no fear of getting "V"s if I fold my fabric to cut it all at once. Hope this makes sense.
Denis, now you are just showing us what makes you such a fantastic quilter . . . just another reason we're all loading up on a bus and heading your way. Hope you know how to make biscuits and gravy! Oh, and for lunch . . . .
