My directions-take yardage and hold end (folded selvedge to selvedge just as it comes off the bolt) have yardage hang off table where you are standing...place long 6 or 6.5 ruler across fabric (about 4 inches down...fold that 4" over end of ruler (hold it tight) and flip ruler toward yourself ....now keep flipping ....I roll ALL of my yardage 6 or 7 yds even....when you get done flipping and all yardage is on your ruler....pull ruler out one end and fold fabric in half...you will be addicted!!!
