Problem: It is hard to cut it in a straight line.
Solution: Burlap is actually one of the easiest fabrics to cut in a straight line; you just have to know the trick. First, measure out the length you need. Locate the end of a thread at the point where you'd like to cut the burlap. Gently pull the thread, slowly working it out of the fabric. Sometimes the thread can snap. If it does, just find the broken piece and continue to gently pull. When the thread is completely removed, you’ll be left with a clearly marked line like what you see here. Cut along this line with your scissors.
