    I love how useful long pieces of selvedges are - and they do make excellent plant ties in the garden, so maybe hide them in the shed if you don't want them staring at you all the time... ;-)

    My husband asks for strips of fabric for his garden. He uses a lot of them. I bought a bolt of cheap natural muslin and cut strips using my Go. He thinks they are wonderful. All even and the same length and width. He said all the strips being the same color makes his garden look classy. Several of his gardening friends have asked where he got his garden strips LOL The bolt has lasted for four years and still have some yards left.
