I hate to admit to being one of those 'cranky old ladies' but yes I watch them cut and I also do my sums first with regard the total price and I measure again when I get home. Two reasons, it pays to be on the ball as mistakes can happen, even little things like a missed flaw in the print etc, I live a long way out in the country if I was to return anything or get new fabric. Also I have worked in fabric retail all my working life and know the ropes, old habits die hard and all that!!!!!
