I never cut a multi-yard piece into smaller pieces. I make a lot of large quilts, and I like to have large pieces to cut borders from so I don't have seams.

I agree with everyne here. Wash and put away until I am ready to use it. That being said, if I have say four yards of something that i am wanting to use on a project that requires a half a yard, I'll go ahead and cut that half a yard off to make it more managable when cutting strips.

Nope, I am a non cutter too.

I starch, press flat, fold selvage to selvage press the fold in then fold raw edge to raw edge, then I am cutting four layers of fabric and I cut two WOF strips at a time! Cuts down on time spent cutting AND I am not dealing with a bunch of bulk hanging off the cutting mat!

When I am cutting it, I have it folded like it is on it's cardboard so it is not taking up much space on my cutting board.

I alway straighten the ends or cut them straight and put it away in one large piece. I know if I cut it I will need more when I decide to use it.
