Default Bed Runner

I am getting ready to make a king bed runner using a batik fabric. I purchased the 108" wide material 2 yards long. My question is.....how am I every going to cut this much fabric straight. I want to get at least two strips approx 108" by 26". I am afraid to rotary cut, but am not sure how well the batik fabric would rip. Any suggestions from all of you experts out there?
I have folded the fabric selvedge to selvedge and then folded over again, but it is hard with that much fabric. Will that give me the long straight side I need?
Thanks so much for any advise you can share.
