Thanks for your advice! I just have a really hard time with such a large piece of fabric

When I'm buying a large amount of yardage, I usually ask the clerk to cut it in 3 yard increments. I mostly make queen size, and 3 yards is okay for a section of the backing. It's also easier to cut small pieces off a 3 yard piece - working with more than 3 yards is awkward to handle.
