I need to cut a lenghtwise strips of 103. I do not know how to cut because it will be too thick. I know someone on the on the board will be able to help, thanks in advance.

How wide?
|
I use June Taylor cutting system sorryo
|
I will fold in half and use the rotary cutter to measure and cut.
|
You could always butt up two acrylic rulers.. End to end.. Tape it if you dont want to buy the suction cup attachments.
|
Fold fabric carefully, check each strip to make sure strait and straiten as needed. Good luck.

Risking the probability of opposing remarks, I would say to RIP it! Yes, very old school. Make a clip to the width you want, then take out all of your aggressions and tear those strips. Eleanore Burns has said "get 'er done".

I "walk" the fabric. I simply stand at the narrow end of my cutting mat, cut as far up as I can reach, then move the fabric down. I do about a 4-6" overlap with the ruler so it lines up well with the previous cut edge and cut again. I don't fold it because I always get the wobbles. I have ripped, and it works well with some fabrics, but the treads pull too hard and mess up the edges too bad on others. (I do generally tear if I need to get the grain perfect.

I use my Accuquilt.
