Default How do you cut selvedges?

I think quilts made with selvedges are cute, but to me they are a waste of fabric! (Unless that is specifically what you want to make.)

When I cut selvedges off my fabric, I cut right up to the white edge so as to waste as little fabric as possible. If it is a selvedge where the color goes all the way to the edge of the selvedge I cut about 3/8 to 1/2 inch off.

How wide a strip do you cut off your selvedge edge?
