Well now it can be a little time consuming..... but it goes fast when your watching the telly......
But as far as cutting, yes you can mark all your lines in strips and cut from there.....
But if you invest in the rotary cutter matt, and the rotary cutter it goes very fast, no need to mark the fabric. Simply fold the fabric as you would for quilting if you wanted blocks to be say 4 1/2 x 5 inches, and you just zip zip zip and your cutting is done.
I googled these pictures, saved them and then hosted them on my photobucket account.......
But this is what the equipement looks like, the mat to cut on and the cutter itself.
and a picture of someone cutting a larger piece of fabric.... In this picture she is squaring off her end, and then she will flip the fabric over so she can measure her square out and cut several layers at a time. I usually go through 3 or 4 sometimes 6 layers at a time, so you can do it quickly.
It sure makes it easier and faster to cut fabric because you can see right though the ruler and you can make sure your lines are all square and what not.......

Today he a found a good, working printer (still has ink too!) BY the trash (He would like me to point out the it was not IN the dumpster, but BY it :roll: ) And now I can print my own labels! I had to always go to the apartment complex front office to get things printed. And I wasn't allowed to print labels. Boooo....
