Cant help but wonder why it would be "AGAINST POLICY" LOL you would think, especially in this economy and the prices of good fabric" that they would be happy to be selling a large amount of fabric. Sometimes I wonder about businesses...I remember when the policy was "The customer is always right"...guess I am showing my age.

In our shop it would probably depend on how busy it is. If people are in line to have fabric cut, it's not fair to those who are waiting to take a lot of extra time to have your fabric cut into pieces. But if we're not busy, we're happy to accommodate you. Perhaps this is what's going on at your shop. And eventhough the customer should always be right, we respond much better to "I hate to ask, but would you mind cutting this in 2 yard pieces?" than "Cut this in 2 yard pieces!" Just saying. I'm just wondering - if you want 12 yds. of something, why do you want it pieces???
