i just in the last month ordered from 4 different online places. i didn't even think to remeasure. one of the places i ordered 2 yd. of a cat fabric, the lady hand wrote that there was 1/2 yd. left on the bolt so she gave it to me for the price of 2 1/4 yd. i thought that was very nice and free fabric is always great. i will remeasure from now on though just because! thanks for the info!
