And I ALWAYS make mistakes cutting when I don't have much fabric and am trying to MAKE IT WORK! I usually buy 3 yards if I don't have a plan. :lol:
We never want to admit that - BUT - if I am tight on fabric, that will be the time that the ruler slips, the iron leaks, I have to rip out a seam and
rip the fabric or a variety of other disasters.
Here is my rule of thumb If I need 1/4 yd
1. If I like it, I buy 2-3 yds (you never know when you can use it :-) )
2. If I don't, I buy at least 1/2 yds.
