How to Square Up Fabric Yardage

We have all been there. We go to the quilt store, buy some fabric, get it home and get ready to cut. We fold it and then, bam, notice that it is not squared up. Sometimes a cut can be way off. Well, Amy’s Creative Side has a way to square up that fabric.

The nice thing about this tutorial is that it has plenty of step-by-step photos so you can follow along the process. Once your fabric piece has been squared up you are ready to cut.

As a quilter I know how important it is to square up fabric. I think that all of us have ignored this step at one time or another and paid for it later.
