Has anyone else had the problem of a yard really isnt a yard anymore? It seems the employees have been taught to be very specific when cutting fabric and not "over"cut a yard of fabric!! Alot of time I will buy what I think is three yards and it ends up being 2 yards 34-35 inches!! I guess its not a really big deal but over time this adds up!! Also if I try using it for backing I come up short just that little bit!!! Frustrating to me. Wondered if anyone else has that problem. Thanks cheryl :D

I try to always watch as the clerk is measuring. I watch to see if the starting edge a straight cut. If not then I ask them to either straighten the edge before they start to measure or compensate for it.
If the material is for a special project then I try to always add 1/4 yard to my purchase.
