The store manager does not want cut fabric returned because it was crooked and cheated the customer out of the amount she paid for. The extra inches is far cheaper to give then have cut fabric returned or complaints sent to the main office about being cheated on cut fabric. I was told the general rule was to cut at least 1 inch more and give the last quarter yard on the bolt as extra.
I agree. I agree..."good grief"... :)
I'm not THAT old (48) but I remember when I was younger that they would measure the fabric, put their thumb there and then move the fabric over an inch or two and then cut ...to make sure you had your yard. It's not "cheating the store"--it's plain old "good business" and making sure the customer is happy. Satisfied customers come back.
