I thank thee Joe. Yea verily even now do I feel this form of information
sharing to be quite wonderful! There's no doubt about it I shall have to try
this sandpaper method to conquer the dreaded squirming red cloth beastie! To
the Workshop! Ho!

Michael, The Archaic asked: "Anyone got any bright ideas on how to cut cloth
(or felt) in really parallel
strips and at a specific width for use on damper backing? The original was
indeed cloth, not felt, the weave is plain to see at the sides. I have a
"roller" type knife, one of those rubbery green mats (a large one) marked
out in small squares, and a long straight-edge used for key-levelling. The
problem is to stop the felt from shifting under the knife! (don't we all?)"

Regards
Michael,

The "trick" is to have a straight egde with sandpaper glued to it! This will
eliminate the "squirming" while you use your Olfa Cutter.
