The other manufacturers, well, it varies. But we find that we come up short by 3/4 yard on nearly every bolt we sell. Some of it is due to "generous cuts" but not all.
Discouraging, isn't it?
Our JoAnn's always, always measures the bolt and......if it's 3 inches over they charge for the extra 3 inches BUT if they are short they send in a shortage slip to the company so the store will be reimbursed. :hunf: :hunf: :hunf: Have had it happen to me both ways. :|
