Also if I try using it for backing I come up short just that little bit!!! Frustrating to me. Wondered if anyone else has that problem. Thanks cheryl :D
I just went to Joanns in Lexington, KY. yesterday and the same thing happened to me. They cut it to the inch, or shorter, and then you have to straighten it up and it's even shorter. They don't give you and inch. I even took what was left on some bolts rather than leave a half yard or so and one bolt had a yard and 19 inches and they charged for the extra inch over
1 1/2 yds. I thought that was cheap. They did have a good sale. Batting was 40% off and the calico quilt prints were 30% off, plus a lot of other stuff. I spent 96 dollars quick and made myself get out of there before I spent more. I don't get there too often anymore, couldn't afford too. LOL
