Hubby cuts mine. He likes to and it is good quality time spent together . He cuts it as I need it to sew. it is usually what ever it takes to finish the step I'm working on at the time. I like to hoard fabric so I always buy too much. So I don't worry about not having enough. Sometimes I change my mind on what fabric to use after I have seen what it is going to look like so I don't like to cut it all at once.
