Okay to cut binding from length of fabric?
#31
I cut my quilting squares and binding along the salvage. Since I buy 2 yd of fabric at a time, it's a nice large piece to work with instead of cutting salvage to salvage and having smaller pieces to work with. I do cut salvage to salvage when I have a small piece that's wider than long. It all works...do what feels right for you! :roll:
