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
As a small quilt shop owner I understand your concern. All of us want what we pay for. I always allow an extra inch or so, in the case of a very crooked end more than enough to allow for what the customer will lose when they straighten the fabric. It would be nice if all of us receive the same service back as we like to give to others.
