New way to cut!


I was at Quilter's Station Quilt Shop before Christmas and I learned a new cutting trick!
Tape down a sturdy ruler-make sure its straight!
Set you ruler up against it and cut.
I have found it does not slip around, not even the long 18"!
Makes for more accurate cuts-which is always a good thing.
My sturdy 48" ruler I found at the big box lumber store-LOWE's.
I think even a strong yardstick would work. 
Taped down on the IKEA cabinet I use to cut on.
I don't intend to buy a Go! and look for anything that makes those squares I love more square!
