...you could also use a piece of plexiglass or other plastic so you don't get splinters in your cloth

Shawn

: Just take 'glass cloth of the correct weight and cut it diagnally. it is
: easier still if you have one of those roller knife cutters available in
: fabric stores. just lay the 'glass on a clean peice of plywood and roll
: the cutter diagnally across the cloth. you can control the width by how
: far apart you make the cuts.

: you will only get lengths of up to 4-5 feet or so depending on the width of
: the cloth.
