      Good day! My large rug is 34 inches. It is not necessary to buy such a large rug, because it is expensive. You can take less. My first cutting mat was 23 inches. The most needed mat for trimming 16 inch. and two more rulers: one 60 cm, the other 12 inches. By the way, it is more convenient to have two rulers: one longer, the other shorter.

      You were taught right. Cutting towards yourself is very dangerous and one can easily get their hands cut with a simple slip. It only takes one slip to do some damage!

      I’m not sure what might be happening on your end, but when ironing, it’s normal to stretch the piece a bit in width. I sewed everything on camera in real time, and it all came together for me. Maybe give it another try and see if that helps?❤
