I come from a generation that always ripped fabric because it will be on grain, then straightened it by pulling opposite corners (you need another pair of hands for this).
|
I cut. I do not like ripping as I have heard that it "hurts" the fabric as much as two inches in. I do not know if this is true, but I just like cutting. I also put my top on the backing to make sure it is large enough.
|
I just started ripping large pieces of muslin to use for backings. It appears to be straight. This is the only time and thing I rip.
|
I NEVER RIP. I do lay my top over the backing. I try to have at least 2 inches extended all around.
|
I rip most of my large pieces of fabric.
|
I just watched this video on ripping fabric and found it very educational! Think I might try it for my next backing. Will also look at more of her videos.

When working with the wide back stuff I always rip.

you should be able to pull and tug this backing until the edges are 90 degrees square....and sometimes they are printed off square and you cant fix that.

I cut, but it looks like I am in the minority.
