Best way to piece my large backing - rip not cut
I have 10 yards of fabric to back my oversized queen sizequilt. I always dread cutting this muchfabric and “hoping” it turns out reasonably straight.So after the discussions on ripping fabric, Ithought that seemed a much easier route to go.
So if I am picturing this correctly, I will needto do 3 panels. Except I’m havingtrouble picturing it.From my reading,it would seem that it is preferable to rip length-wise (so parallel to the selvage).But that doesn’t seem correct size wise.It would seem that I need to rip my fabricinto thirds, but that I would be ripping perpendicular to the selvage.Is that how I go about doing this?Any other pointers of what to do/not do?
