    I didn't pay real close attention when the guy cut my material, but you better believe I will start watching that closer from now on. I called and they said to expect up to an inch per yard of shrinkage. I purchased three yards so.... I guess this has been a learning experience if nothing else.. Thanks

    I agree.

    How much do you expect your machine to depreciate in value over one year?
