I want to change the strip width by 1 inch and add 1 inch to every piece I cut. Can this work out?
If you are cutting your own strips, you certainly can make each wider. Many of those patterns are designed to be used with jelly rolls (collection of 2 1/2" strips. No reason on earth your can't customize the pieces to suit you!
