My lqs sent out a postcard where they were offering this: Bring in your orphaned one yard or more cuts of fabric to exchange for a $2 off coupon to be used in the purchase of one yard or more fabric from their store.
So let me get this straight: I bring in my fabric which they will buy from me for $2. Then I buy fabric from them for $10 and use the $2 coupon so that I only pay $8.
Why do I feel like I'm getting the short end of the stick in this deal?

I can see where it would be nice though. If there is a fabric there that you really want, getting $2 off a yard is pretty good. Especially if you have fabric at home you know you will never use (why did I buy that again?? lol) I would imagine they are donating it somewhere, or making things to donate. I would contact the shop and ask some questions....

It sounds like a good way to get rid of fabric that you'll never use. I have fabric that I bought many years ago, that I wonder now why I ever wanted it. I would like to get $2.00 a yard credit for it at a LQS.
