do you measure fabric on your cutting mat?

I was reading another post just now and they mentioned rulers and mats being inaccurate sometimes.
I always measure with my cutting mat. It is the way I learned years ago. I only use my rulers to cut a straight line. I've never noticed any trouble.
Am I in the minority?

I do not use the lines on my cutting mat for measuring.
I use rulers.
Whatever is easier for you I think would be fine.
As a matter of fact, when my mat gets too old, I turn it over on the solid side and use it for a while longer.

I don't use the lines for anything other than lining up my fabric LOL
I tried using them for cutting, and then they didn't measure the same when I switched to my rulers...
But! If it works for you? Go for it :D:D:D

i've used both, if i have to make large cuts i use the lines on the mat for example if i want to cut a yard of fabric, i use the lines on the mat on the ruler is merely a straight edge for the rotary cutter.
