wonky measures are one reason i don't buy fat quarters for anything but stash-building.
some sources will measure and cut exactly 18".
that's fine. it's what was advertised and paid for. no grounds for complaint.
problem is that even if it's a perfect rectangle, i won't have 18" usable inches once it's washed.
i've received some that were 18" on one end, but less on the other. sooooo i didn't even start with 18 usable inches. :hunf:
the list of boo-boos goes on.
buying fats from a shop for the first time is a crapshoot. isn't that why they built Vegas? :lol:
p.s. very happy to see that mlaceruby takes such care for her customers. :-) :thumbup:
p.s.s. i'm pretty sure it doesn't happen on purpose. if fats are cut by hand, they may not be cut by quilters. we know to measure both side; measure twice; and then cut once. :lol:
