    Unfortunately just because they have made a few quilts doesn't always mean they know what they are doing.
    YES! I always teach proper rotary cutting at the beginning of a class. Of course, if someone wants to skip that, they can start sewing, but I do think it's a sensible idea to review and possibly learn good things.

    The other thing is that a blunt blade will wreck your mat - and a wrecked mat will blunt your blade.
