Does anybody here cut their own Crosscut Strips and regular strips
from whole hide? If so what is the best way to do that?
There are some colors that I haven't been able to find except on whole
hides.

I've seen 'em in action and they're great. Always been meaning to get
one, but have yet to fork out the dough. You can also use a "roller
cutter" that fabric folks use. You lay the hide, fur down, and use the
roller cutter to cut out strips (use a ruler to run the cutter
against). It looks like a pizza cutter. Quilters also have templates
that will help get your strips straight an even.
