One thing I love about my LQS...
I went today and picked out 4 different fabrics to add to my stash, got a yard each. One of the fabric I had picked out had some fabric wrapped around it from another bolt so she just said it was just enough but didn't say how much over. It was about 15" more, yes 15" more and she only charged me for the 1 yard....and it was a $14/yd fabric! I knew it was more but she didn't fully measure it after the yard, just said that is the perk of getting the end of the bolt. I just measured it and it is 51"! They may not have a big selection and I don't get to go often but their customer service is great. They don't bug me when I go in, just let me look.
