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
If fabric is cut, I can always count on losing at least 4 inches and at times up to 8 or 9. Due to fabric being wrapped on the bolt carelessly by the manufacturer.
