Rachel, I kept those separate and really want to do one like yours. what I have are usually 1/4-1/2" wide and not the samewidth all through. Also, the collars and cuffs are short width, and would require more work than I want to do. Since I don't do pillows, stuffed animals, or things like that, I guess I will bite the bullet this time and toss. I recycle almost everything, so I don't feel really awful. Thanks for all your responses and ideas.
