I use the type of patch jag that you wrap the patch around.
I use the blue paper hand towels that come in a roll.
There strong, but not strong enough for the push through jag.
I still have cotton and GI patches, but haven't used any for a while.
If you do end up cutting the patches the Olfa rotary cutter with a self healing mat is the only way to go. They're wicked sharp so they deserve healthy respect but they're far faster than scissors. The self healing mats are cheap at Hobby Lobby with the 40 coupon.
I use an Olfa cutter on fiberglass and carbon fiber cloth with a self healing mat and it doesn't fray the cloth at all. Flannel is easy compared to those.

Thanks for the ideals on cutting them out
And A big thank you for Texas By God,he sent a large mail envelope full of patches
It's time for my annual safe cleaning and maintenance where everything gets cleaned and oiled. Including my 8 Dillion set ups.
I'm still moving slow from my 5th Stroke, and can't get much else done.
I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left.

Looking for a Hensly &Gibbs #258 any thing from a two cavity to a 10cavityI found a new one from a member here
Picked up a box of cleaning patches at the local flea market.
I buy diaper flannel at the fabric shop. Use the rotary cutter others have mentioned and you can have thousands of patches cut in very little time.
Scrap fabric is appealing for the price but it's all different thicknesses and various mixes of natural and synthetic fibers. Having something consistent is nice.
