    No, I leave the salvage on and cut it off when I am ready to use the piece.

    WHY? Can you explain to me why you cut off the selvage THEN wash? I can only imagine the mess of strings after the washer and dryer! I would get frusterated and toss the whole mess in the trash like I do an old gagged dog towel!

    To answer the op question...I cut then off after strips have been cut but before subcuts!
