I was at a Joann's that was closing a few years back. The staff working was hired for the inventory liquidation, not the regular employees at this shop and I was stocking up on fabric at dirt cheap. I had a stack of bolts & the gal that helped me was doing her best to cut well but it was clear she knew nothing about handling fabric. One of the bolts was panels and I had to stop her before she cut away into the panels, not between them. I showed her how to cut properly including that you have to cut each side separately with panels and not assume the sides were lined up. She seemed to appreciate the assitance & I got fabric for 10 cents on the dollar!
