I have a lot of then given to me that aren't big enough. I like to have a half inch of the main fabric showing, don't always get it. When I start a project if figure out what width I need to get the number of pieces cut from it....then add a little bit for straightening and I cut the rest off along with the selvage. I like big long pieces so may cut the selvage from a whole yard of fabric, or if I'm trimming for backing do the whole piece in one cut..
