i have purchased 'cut' fabric from some pretty big fabric stores where the cut has been so crooked that when i squared up my fabric i lost 7" on one end...and 1/2" on the other...i would much rather have a straight fabric where i have to trim 1/4" to fix the edges. at least if it;s torn it is straight and you loose lots less than when people give you really bad cuts.

not near as much as you loose from a bad cut

I told them I did not think I should have to pay for the 2 inches with tape, but they should just include it in my order since it was the last of the roll and there was nothing they could do with it anyway, besides I spend a lot of money in that store. They gave me some story about having to account for all of their material and could not give it to me, so they proceeded to cut my yard and not a bit more and left the last 2 inches on the roll. They then took it off the roll and wadded it up and threw it in the trash right in front of me. I was furious they would rather throw it away and make a good customer really angry. Kat
