I know this is probably a dumb question but something i don't understand. LOL Thanks so much

You actually want to use your ruler. If you need to, take a permenant marker and mark a horizontal line and a vertical line on the back of your mat. This will give you a reference point for lining up your fabric. Then simply use your ruler to measure everything out. It takes a bit of adjustment but once you get used to it you will be amazed at how much better your piecing turns out.
