I have seen several post where members are using selvages to make various quilted items with. I never cut off my selvages before I cut my fabrics. Am I supposed to? Do most quilters cut of selvages? Is there a benefit to cutting them off?
I have sewed since jr. high school, back in the late 70's. My Home Ec. teacher made us line up the selvages and measure the center line of each pattern piece to the selvages. To this day, I still find myself wanting to measure to the selvages when I cut out patterns. LOL!!
