do you measure fabric on your cutting mat?

The old cloth tapes stretch. Plastic tapes don't stretch.
Some rotary rulers have thick lines. Some have thin.
Whatever measuring tool I use, I use it throughout a project. Consistently makes for accuracy.

I do both & I learned with the cutting mat lines first, but practice cutting more with the ruler in the past years.
Cutting mat lines get deep crevices, I cut with the backside of the mat.

I use my mat and ruler together I have never had any problem and have had my mat for 16 years now, the lines are starting to fade and I will have to give in and purchase another one, but only if I can find one just like mine. I don't like those olfa mats they don't stand up to the cutting and wear out quickly.
