Selec�ng a Rotary Cu�er
Choose a standard 45 mm or 60 mm rotary cu�er with a manual blade guard and either a regular or ergonomic handle.
Avoid cu�ers with automa�c blade guards as these cu�ers can damage the ruler.
Preparing and Posi�oning Bulk Fabric
Remove your fabric from the bolt and iron for best results.
Place the fabric on a cu�ng mat and fold the fabric along the original bolt fold. Fold the fabric a second �me on to itself.
Posi�on the second fold along bo�om of the mat with the original bolt fold and selvage edges at the top to create four layers.
Extend the bolt fold about 1/8" above the selvage edges. See Figure 1 .

Make sure the original bolt fold and the second new fold are parallel to ensure accurate and uniform strips.
Place the ruler over the folded fabric. Align the ruler so that the le� edge of the fabric is just to the le� of the Ver�cal “0” Cu�ng
Slot. Posi�on the ruler so that the bo�om edge of the fabric aligns precisely with the Horizontal “0” Base Line. As a final check,
verify that the top edge of the fabric is parallel to a nearby horizontal ruler line - this will ensure your cut strips are straight,
accurate, and uniform. See Figure 2 .
Working with Fat Quarters and Fat Eighths
Place your precut Fat Quarter or Fat Eighth fabric block on a cu�ng mat. Fold the fabric in half, lengthwise, with the open edges
toward the top of the mat to form 2 layers. You may stack and cut up to 3 layers of precut fabric blocks.
Place the ruler over the folded fabric. Align the ruler so that the le� edge of the fabric is just to the le� of the Ver�cal “0” Cu�ng
Slot. Posi�on the ruler so that the bo�om edge of the fabric aligns precisely with the Horizontal “0” Base Line. As a final check,
verify that the top edge of the fabric is parallel to a nearby horizontal ruler line - this will ensure your cut strips are straight,
accurate, and uniform. See Figure 2 .
