Adding that extra inch is just another nice plus from the great folks at Fabric.com. :D
I've had the same experience with my LQS. I had to go back and buy an extra 1/4 yd to finish my project. Why are they so stingy with their cuts?? I can understand that adding an extra inch on each cut might affect their profit, but it seems that they'd be more interested in having happy customers.
