I always tell the cutting clerk...you measure and cut....I will fold. That way I get to double check for any flaws and YES, I have found flaws in $2.00 a yard stuff from Walmart all the way up to $12.00 a yard LQS fabric, so I point it out to the clerk, she marks it as flawed and it goes into the sale bin, then she recuts for me. The clerks love the little break they get from folding and the line goes a lot faster!!
Another plus, I get my fabric folded like it was on the bolt, so when I need ''some'', I just measure out the inches I need, cut it off and back on the shelf it goes.
