I said, "Okay, you obviously haven't been shown how to cut fabric, you ruined them beyond what I can use and I'm supposed to overlook that and take them? No, this isn't going to happen. What is going to happen is I'm going to show you how to cut in the future." and I did. I was able to salvage enough and found another bolt so I got what I wanted.
That was good of you to teach her-sometimes the clerks just don't know how to do that, and we suffer for it. Fortunately, where I buy most of my fabric, they give 1-2 extra inches no matter what the fabric print is.
