Default Help with cross-grain cutting?

I’m hoping someone(s) can give me some pointers on this. I’m about to cut fabric on the cross grain for binding strips, and I’m remembering how terrible I am at lining up selvages so that my strips come out straight and even. No matter how many posts and tutorials I read and watch, I seem to find it impossible to actually line things up properly so that my cut fabric strips don’t end up with weird bends in the middle. I’m looking for help on how to line up selvages better so that my cut strips have straight and perfectly (or close enough) parallel edges along the long sides.

Or am I worrying too much – do you find it acceptable to have a little wobble in your long cut edges ?

Thank you for any help you might have to offer!

Judy
