Julia...it didn't upset me that much that she tears her fabrics. It is her shop and they can do what they prefer. But, I think it was mainly her attitude. It wasn't "customer" related...it was "if you want it cut you have to pay me $1.00". I wish I owned that shop, it is beautiful. But I would have handled the explanation about not cutting the fabrics a little bit kinder to the customer. Oh well, maybe it was a bad day for her.
I appreciate the comments about preferring to have the fabric torn, not cut. That is very interesting and I can understand why it should be done that way. I guess some of us are "used" to JoAnn's, etc., that cut everything.
