Your method demonstrated is fabulous and effective. Nancy Roelfsema also teaches this method as power cutting. For me, I just don't want to do this math in my head (and I'm CPA)--too easy to be tired/inattentive. I have a ruler fetish. I rely on my Stripology ruler to do strip cutting and sub cutting. Cut one way, turn the ruler, cut the other without moving a thing. Also has great markings to ensure folds are parallel to prevent elbows. When not using that ruler (and it doesn't work for everything easily). I use the two ruler method working from right to left. I use the Quilter's Slidelock as my cutting against the ruler on the right which I use for measure. I never turn fabric, and I'm often working off of a bolt for background piece cutting. Lots of ways to skin the quilt cat. Thanks for your great videos. They do so much in the exposition of ways to do stuff so people can try techniques and make informed choices as they develop their preferences.
i only have a 6 x 24" ruler, on a limited budget so this method won't work for me. Any ideas when your ruler is not the 15" you have?? Very clear video. Thank you.
Your demo is great. I will use your method in the future.
