Where I live, here in Ohio, I frequent the Amish fabric shops. Most of them do "cut" their fabric but there is one that "rips". I went there once because I was able to find fabric there that I couldn't locate any where else; plus the price was better. Well never again! The girl measured correctly, but then proceded to rip it way off. I couldn't wait to get it home and remeasured and sure enough it was off, just enough, that I couldn't use it for what I wanted it for! If I go back to that store, I will definitely speak up and have them "cut" the fabric not "rip"!
