One thing I found works better for me (read that somewhere):
If I need 4 strips @2.5" each, I do the math how much that is total. In this case, I cut one strip at 10" and sub-cut that into my 4 strips. It DOES make a difference.
Thank you! That sounds like such a wonderful tip! One of those light bulb moments. :) LOL
Sounds like a good solution. Only cut off for the amount of fabric you'll be needing. You may need to prepare in sections.
