The reason you would be snipping at the intervals (usually about half an inch) is so that when the weaving starts coming loose? you won't have long threads running all over the place ... know what I mean? It is much easier to wash away 1/2 inch threads as the cloth unravels than to have a little one get his fingers all caught in the threads before they unravel from the whole block. <wave> and, yes .. snipping both is a good idea :thumbup:
