what annoys me is that they measure right to the yard mark but sometimes the piece previously cut was not cut straight and when the folded edge is at 1 yard, the other end could not be.
I have asked them to move it or trim it straight.
Rather them give you that smidgen of fabric, they trim it and throw the smidgen away.......
the one cutter in the LQS uses the thumb method.....a thumb's measure for shrinkage..........now that's a quilter at heart!!!!!!!
