I suspect if you did all the conversions, both measurement and currency, you might discover some surprises in the cost of getting that "extra" fabric. :lol:
If a yard of USA fabric cost $10.00/yard, then a "meter's worth" "would" cost $10.94
In theory. But that is rarely the case.
I was trying to illustrate what the difference in cost at a USA store would be between a yard length and meter length of fabric - and that one does not get "free" fabric anywhere

I have no idea of what fabrics cost in other parts of the world -
