If there is 1-1/2 yards on the end of the bolt, you can buy 3/4 of a yard and have 3/4 of a yard left over, thereby giving you 3/4 of a yard at half price. Otherwise, you usually buy one yard of fabric and have 1/2 yard left over. This way you have under a yard closest to a yard - you could work 7/8 of a yard also. That, I thought, is what made her a super lady!!!!! Little trick!
It was nice of her to tell me about it. I knew about the less than one yard on the bolt, but I didn't know how nicely it could be manipulated. Edie
