Save Time When Cutting Lots of Squares or Rectangles

It’s Quick and Accurate!
Do you need to cut a lot of squares or rectangles from one fabric? Traditionally, you’d use the markings on your ruler to cut strips and then cut those into squares or rectangles one by one.
While that produces accurate patches it also can take a long time. A quicker method that can be just as accurate is to use the lines on your cutting mat.
This is a great time-saver when you need to cut many of the same-sized squares or rectangles from one fabric.
Amber Johnson from Gigi’s Thimble explains how to do it in the following article. She also includes a bonus tip for cleaning your cutting mat when you’re done.
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
