To me the thing that works best is just tearing it. You might have some extra threads hanging about, but you know you have a straight edge by tearing. The quilt teacher in my very first quilt class that I took, told us to tear it. It was a little disconcerting at first, but it works.

Option 1: Fold your fabric evenly and use your rotary cutter. Option 2: Put a length of your fabric (one layer) on your mat and use the rotary cutter to do the edge, moving it as necessary (just like you would trim a quilt edge prior to binding).
