Cutting Question
I need to cut strips that are 1 inch wide (finish at 1/2 inch). Is it better to cut them selvage to selvage or cut end to cut end (horizontal to selvage)?
Thanks for your input. |
For me it would depend on the print of the fabric when cutting strips, but if using plain non printed fabric I would go selvage to selvage. With strips that small it really wouldn't matter.

If I know the length of the pieces, aka 12 inches, icut a strip 12 inches wide salvage to salvage and thencut into 1 inch strips. The reason is the stripes are less stretchey.

Fabric stretches a little selvage to selvage, but not parallel/lengthwise. That might make a difference in distortion when sewing and pressing.
