I rip all my long borders. They come out perfectly straight. You have to rip off a small piece first to get a straight edge (just like squaring up the edge if rotary cutting). Clip off the strings, spray starch and press. If you get crooked rips after the first rip, it's the fabric that is messed up not you. Always rip down the selvage edge.
