If you leave the selvedge on, snip it about every 2 inches to prevent puckering from uneven shrinkage. I've done this for clothes that were washed frequently and never had a puckering problem.

Never heard of John Flynn but found this, helps calculate yardage needed and diagram on how to cut. Hope that helps others like me, LOL

Better to do something imperfectly, than nothing perfectly.
Done is better than perfect.
that is a good tip and I had not thought of it, thank you!
I have always left the selvedges on and sewn a good 1/2" seam, it works for me
