How to Cut Fabric Strips

Do you have extra fabric laying around and need to find something to do with it? You can easily cut fabric into strips and use it for a crochet or weaving project. 

Step 1: Fold fabric in half, bringing the selvage edges together and making sure they are even. Fold again in this direction, bringing the center fold up to 1/2″ below the selvage edges. 

Step 2: Using one of Clover’s Rotary Cutters, cut fabric strips, cutting through the folds, but not through the selvages. Tip: Don’t worry if the lines are not too straight, it will not show in your woven piece. Step 3: Unfold fabric by separating the selvages. Now begin cutting into strips: at the top of the fabric, cut the first strip then cut every two. For the bottom strips you cut every two.  

Then wrap continuous strip around an object such as a slender box.

You’re ready to weave!
