    How many layers do you cut through with your rotarty cutter? How many is the most you've ever cut through?

    I usually only do two at a time - I know a lot of people do more-

    If I goof up, it's less of a loss.

    I don't like to cut less than 4. I can easily cut 8. That's the most I've tried. Don't have a reason to cut any more than 8. How would you fold the fabric and how could you see many more?

    The most I have done is 8. I would not recommend it. I usually do 4.

    Two here. Don't think I have the wrist strength to cut more and with accuracy.
