Place the fabric on the cutting mat. We have used cut cloth here, but if you use a large piece of fabric, fold it into four and move the center fold from the selvage as shown.

Using the scale marked on the culling mat, cut fabric to the desired width. Leave 2-3 cm of selvage without cutting. The fabric unfolded after cutting will appear as shown.

With scissors, cut top and bottom of selvage alternately to create yarn-like strands.

Cutting the corners will create a tidier finish when worked.

Wind the tape roughly. Winding alternately with the left and right hand is less likely to result in twisting.
