I have fabrics that I absolutely refuse to cut into! I know, what a waste of money; Not to me! These babies have their very own shelf and I get them out often, unfold them, pet them, refold them and put them back on the shelf. I lost just about everything in a nasty break up almost 2 years ago and my fabrics were one of the few things I was allowed to take with me when I left. I treasure these fabrics and will probably never cut them. . .
