BUT online shops have cut it from 1-2" extra (with pieces being 1/2 to 2 yards total) and hancock's of paducah and fabric.com cuts were about 4 or 5" extra (on 1 yard to 3 yard pieces). :shock:
Another thing I've discovered is that every shop folds their fat quarter pieces different. :hunf:
Gale, I've been on both sides of the counter, and things are not always what they seem to be. Please call the store owner and tell her your cut was short. Give her a chance to make your purchase right and correct the erring employee who snored her way through your purchase.
