To cut a long length like that I measure and move the ruler along as I go. I don't cut right to the end of the ruler so I then have the same line to line it up, then I remove the selvedge. The next strip I will have measured at the same time as I measured the first as well as any subsequent strips. May take longer but I tend to be a bit of a perfectionist.
