Speaking for myself :-) I pretty much cut as I sew. But unless I expect to use something as a backing, if I have a large piece of yardage I do make one cut in advance. If you don't happen to launder your fabric, read no further.

Before starching and pressing a washed and dried fabric length of one yard or more, I tear it lengthwise down the middle, so each piece is no wider than 22". It will easily fit it on the ironing board and later on the shelf. I have never run out of fabric from splitting up the yardage. I've only made my life easier by not having to deal with a large piece of fabric. It's comparable to pressing a pillowcase instead of a sheet.
