Stripped fabric
I have a mental block for some reason. I can't for the life of me remember how to cute a piece of stripped fabric on a true diagonal? Any ideas will be much appreciated. Thank's, Miss Fay.

I use my 5" x 24" ruler that has the 45 degree marking on it and my marked cutting mat. Lay the fabric selvedge along a straight line of your mat, then lay the 45 degree line of your acrylic ruler along that same edge. The long edge of the ruler will now be laying at a 45 degree angle.

I would align the ruler's 45 degree mark with a stripe of the fabric rather than with the selvage, in case the fabric is not printed quite straight. I would also try to cut only one layer at a time, since it could be really hard to fold and still keep the stripes aligned.
