Do you have a 6x24" ruler? If you do, you can align one side at the 10 1/2 inch mark on the square then butt the ruler up against the opposite side of the square. Basically using 10 1/2 of square + 6 of ruler = 16 1/2. Cut along the ruler to square up that side. Continue doing this for each of the other 3 sides. Hope you understand my explanation... TTFN from

| You can also use the grid on your cutting mat. |
