Cutting lengths of velcro

[Rich]

Does anyone ever have a need to cut 1" wide velcro (or webbing) in multiple pieces of the same length? How have you done it? I am making covers that are held in place with velcro and I need to pre-cut both hook and loop velcro to sew to the covers. When many of these pieces need to be cut, it gets tedious measuring and cutting and keeping them in order for use (they're notorious for wanting to mate with one another you know). Any ideas?
Thanks,
Rich

How about a rotary cutter with the gridded mat? It will probably dull the blade fast, but I found that these combined with the wide clear ruler makes short work of this.

I'm not familiar with the gridded mat, do you have a link to it?

I usually take a piece of plywood and draw lines showing the length of the webbing I need to cut, then lay the webbing across the lines and cut with the hot knife.

I will put both pieces of velcro together, then make a mark on my cutting table for the length.  By having the pieces together you will not have the problem of the velcro getting all tangled up.

On the webbing I always  cut it with my hotblade  I just cut one then match the lengths.

There are overlays quilters buy at fabric stores. There are mats to lay the work on and you use a rotary cutter.
