But thought I would try one. Could use a bit of guidance.

You need to get the book. The strips are cut 3.75 inches, but without the book it is obvious that you have no clue and will be lost.
They don't have to be 3-3/4" ... that can vary according to the pattern repeat and the size of the print. One of the benefits of taking a course, we were taught some of the ways beyond what the book tells.
