Well, you do get 1" strips, but you get the number that you first cut.  Say you were going to cut a piece of fabric that is 8 x 11.  You would cut 10 cuts and grab a hold of the top of  # 1,3,5,7,9,11 and the other person would grab a hold of #2,4,6,8,10  then pull.  You would end up with 11 strips, 1"wide and 8 " long since that was the original length of your fabric.

Did that make it more clear?

Cindy,
 
I need a little clearer picture of this.  If you are cutting a slice  in 
the fabric every 1 inche [for eexample] and you have someone taking every  
other strip and pulling, do you get one strip that is 1 inche wide?  Or are  
you saying you don't pull it all the way to the end and then have one  
continuous  strip that kinda twists up and down the width of the  sheet?
 
We use to tare fabric [cotton woven type] this way as it will tear on the  
grain of the fabric and for quilts that is better.
