Good for you! I would have insisted my cut first too. Not a selfish move at all from my perspective, you had the bolt in your cart.

You were not being selfish, the other lady trying to get your fabric was being selfish. I worked at a fabric store before, and there are people out there that just have to have the fabric/items someone else is holding. Period. I believe these people never learned to share.

Ditto, I would not say that was not selfish, but quick thinking.

[QUOTE=Quilt Mom;4997320]Count only the folds on one side of the bolt. That is about 9" So two folds counted on one side is about a yard on the bolt.

Okay, now I get it. Thanks for the explanation!
