I have to butt-in and say that I agree with you 100 percent! I also believe that you have the right to say so. If you ordered 6 yards and she didn't have a full 6 yards she should have checked with you prior to taking it upon herself and shipping 5 and half. It's called professionalism and it's called "good business". She knows there is a rating system and she obviously isn't worried about it or else she doesn't realize that she isn't handling the situation properly. I hope you speak your peace about it, I believe you should do so in a professional manner but I don't believe you should have to handle the situation with kid gloves. Tell her what you told us, "you think it's going to be enough fabric but that she should ask first" and I believe the rating system is for instances just like this so the next shopper can beware or ask the seller up front not to short her on her order without an email requesting approval of the shortage.
