There's a trick you can do that will help. If you only need a small amount of fabric, scan the fabric into your computer and then print it out on the fabric sheets that are printer friendly. If you need a lot of fabric this isn't very cost effective but when you only need a little bit it can really be a lifesaver!!!
that is genius... i would never have thought of that in a million years...but i am printing it for my "studio" bulletin board so i never forget it.
