I love them,save them and use them just love how they work up!!! They add so much interest to any project. Look at it this way, if you pay $7.00 to $9.00 yard for material they don't deduct just because it's a selvage it's still they same price and makes just as beautiful a piece as the rest with a little added "character"! If you buy the material on vacation or somewhere special, you can even write a note on the edge to commemorate and jog your memory.... include the place or date making it even more unusual!!
