The "selvage" is the lengthwise finished edges of a woven fabric. One of the selvages is frequently white, with the name of the fabric, designer, and manufacturer stamped onto it. The opposite selvage is also a woven edge but includes the fabric design. These edges should be removed and not included in piecing as they are woven more tightly and shrink differently than the rest of the fabric. The width of the fabric between the selvage edges is usually 44" or 54", depending on the fabric manufacturer.
One popular trend in quilting is to cut the printed selvage edge from the length of the fabric and use it in "string" block patterns, creating colorful patterns that include the text and color test dots from the printed selvage edges

What is the salvage edge of cut fabric?
It's actually the selvage edge. It is the woven edge that does not ravel (have loose threads that you can pull off). On fabric that is freshly cut from a bolt, it is the 2 edges opposite the folded edge. Often, it is a different color from the rest of the fabric, and may be printed with the fabric company name, and little round dots of the different colors used in printing the fabric.Because this does not stretch or "give" like cut fabric, the selvage edges should be removed before cutting out quilt pieces. Usually 1/4" to 1/2" is enough.
