I want my fabric cut! I haven't been anywhere that they rip for years. Every place I have been they use scissors or rotary cutters. I think my jaw would drop if they ripped my fabric! I think I would take a really close look at the ripped edges. I think they used to rip when we washed our fabric before sewing and then the ends would kind of self heal. I seldom launder my fabric anymore, so I don't want the edges ruffled! :?
