Does anyone know if you can buy the polyester squares already cut out? My mom makes rugs, but she is having a hard time cutting out the squares.

I couldn't find anything on Google, but here is my ideas. I hope they help.
Find a friend, church member or younger person like a grandchild who will cut them for her. If she has a bit of time, she can advertise on Craigslist that she will make a rug for someone who will cut enough squares to make 10. Something like that. Who knows, it might lead to more business.
Good luck and please display one for us sometime? PBP
Buy your mom an Accuquilt GO! Baby cutter. It comes with the "value" set which includes a 4 1/2", 2 1/2" squares (4" and 2" finished size) and a 1 1/2" triangle shape. You can cut 6-8 squares at a time. Go! Baby cutter's best price where I bought mine was at:
I cut my squares using a paper cutter. You can buy them at Walmart or many other places. I bought the wooden platform kind that has the lines laying at measurements. It is pretty simple to cut them that way.
I went to a craft sale and they had home sewn rugs made from polyester material. The material was cut in small squares and sewed in rows, but I don't recall how they sewed it together.
