I have rulers and still can't cut sometimes (well most of the time...lol)
Anyway...as others suggested I save any free cardboard like pieces I find and use them to make templates of those I don't have. When they were out I make a new one. Practice really makes perfect and patience is a virtue....quilting has taught me those are very true! OH...and sometimes you do need to just walk away for a little while!!! |
Thanks for all the help, maybe i should find some cardboard and use that as a template in the mean time, i will add the one i tried to use and pics of the one i m gonna buy as a starter tomorrow :)

I just use one of my regular rulers for small squares (if I am using scraps). I cut 2 sides, ensuring that I have at least a little more that 4 inches of fabric on the other 2 sides. After cutting those 2 sides, place the 4 inch marks of the ruler on the sides you just cut, then you can cut the other 2 sides. I hope this makes sense to you.

I do the same as kd24. Easier than handling little squares

Sunnyhope, you are a true pioneer and I love your spirit. A cardbooard template will be a wonderful tool until you can acquire a few basic rulers and begin to rotary cut as per the modern method. You go girl.
