Hi, I'm from Florida and new to the board, but I read it all the time. I just had to put in my 2 cents worth on this subject. At my local Joann store they don't give any extra at all and I watch to make sure they are cutting the fabric straight. Makes me think that when they are cutting fabric they don't really pay attention to what they are doing at all. That sure doesn't give me a warm and fuzzy feeling.
