Looks like my fabric. I'll cut each piece to the shape I need it when I need it. I never know if I will use it for an applique piece, something for a baby's clothing or a piece for a quilt. If I cut it straight across it would probably be just enough to prevent me from being able to cut out a small shirt or a long stem or leaf. Where's the fun in having everything cut into squares or rectangles?

I don't trim anything away after cutting a piece out of something or when making clothes. I save the little scraps too. No it doesn't bother me. The next time I need that fabric I just repress all the pieces and then use the one that works for the currant project. I call it tightening the belt.

I had asked on another post if buyers preferred the pieces "tidied up" - with a nice even edge - which I agree looks ever so much neater -
or
Whether they would like "the extra" left on.
Of the people that responded, most preferred to have "the extra" left on.
I decided - in many cases - to leave it on - and the buyer could tidy up the pieces if it bothered them.
I frequently cut fabric from the back side because it's easier to see the grain lines from the back.
