instead of cutting across the fabric, from selvage to fold/selvage, i cut them lenghtwise.

i make my first cut using my left hand to trim away the selvage (or to square it off if the selvage is already gone.) i watch the line going across the ruler at the bottom fold in order to make it straight.

when cutting my strips, i check to make sure it's lined up both up and down the ruler and across the ruler line at the bottom.

trim away excess to the left.

then, measure and cut along right edge of ruler.
