If the fabric becomes fussy to fold up neatly...I tear strips off until it's a nice neat package and then use the scraps...sometimes years later.bohemiannie! arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04323742149467254627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3158762698015164140.post-17520001627179641642012-07-31T18:35:36.286-05:002012-07-31T18:35:36.286-05:00Usually cut off an chuck the width I need and whac...Usually cut off an chuck the width I need and whack from that piece...<br />Toni<br />www.lifeinapinkbunnysuit.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05284428361857987666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3158762698015164140.post-5015506206325144582012-07-31T16:12:48.688-05:002012-07-31T16:12:48.688-05:00For me it's easier to cut along the longest pa...For me it's easier to cut along the longest part, depending on the project I'm making it for. <br />Otherwise I'll cut off the selvedge then work from the other side. <br />I cut fabrics by project. If I'm makign a lot of the same thing I'll use the longer edge and for just a few I'll grab an FQ. =DCheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02401901024509719512noreply@blogger.com
