I'm thinking to tell the manufacturers to belly up to the bar, and keep the one yard standard - everything including patterns are based on yardage. I'm too old (or maybe stubborn) for this crap. Before you can bat an eyelash, a "unit" will mean 1/3 yard. It will get to the point, we're buying in inches, then who's going to perfect cutting a true 5 inches at purchase? Some things just can't be regulated that closely - unless the consumer loses, again. At some point, I'll just tell them to forget it. Market to somebody that cares.
