There seem to be some quilters who prefer to tear strips for quilts. I personally prefer to cut them. The edges ravel when they are torn and I find them "messy" Any views on this?

Even when I cut I can't get my pieces to go together matching.

I will tear if I'm "cutting" a big piece from lengthy yardage. Cut for strips though, for sure!

CUT! Tearing stretches the edges.
