hi I'm wonderful Miranda craft and today
I'm going to show you how to cut layer
cakes or ten inch squares from your
yardage so let's get on and show you how
to do it when you bring your fabric home
from the store you'll generally find
that your edge isn't straight so the
first thing we need to do is to
straighten one edge so what I'm going to
do is take my ruler and just lay it
along the folded edge now I have the
folded edge facing me and I have the
selvage edge facing away so I just lined
up one of the lines on my ruler and
lonely folded edge and I'm just going to
straighten this piece of material you
can see that it's out now the next thing
you'll want to do is to cut your
salvages off so we have a nice straight
edge net here now because we straighten
it so just check how big your selvage is
a hunting see these are quite big so
again line up the one of the lines on
the ruler along my straight edge so
there we are we have nice straight edges
there and now we can go ahead and cut
our ten inch squares now my ruler is
only eight inches wide so it's not wide
enough to make a teenage cut so I'm
going to have to use my Mac but in this
instance so I lined my straightedge up
along the edge here in line with the
zero and then I had my ruler on the ten
inch line now I've still got the folded
edge towards me
now I'm just going to gently pull it by
and make sure that it's cut and it has
alright so now I need to come across to
the 20 inch mark you make the second cut
so I've turned my pieces of fabric
around now so that they're ready to cut
and I have the open edges down here
along the zero line so make sure that
they line up nicely the two of them now
you can do these one at a time you don't
have to cut the two at a time like I'm
going to do alright so we come out
across to the ten inch line oh damn it
and just going to cut to the 20 inch
line yeah so we've now got eight ten
inch squares cut now if you have a
number of a particular number of squeeze
that you need for a project then just

got a chart there that will tell you how
much yardage you'll need for the number
of squares that you need for your
project okay so if you've enjoyed this
