Has your LQS stopped cutting fat quarters?

They only have one cash register/computer so it would tie up everybody in line waiting to check out.

Some do, some don't. Some will only cut them the long way--what's that called? I can't remember, but it's an eighth of a yard of fabric and unless you're cutting strips, it's pretty useless. I just find one that will cut it the way I want. I really don't get why they won't cut them though, it works to their benefit. If they cut one, they've cut two and can sell the other one.

My LQS will cut me a one inch strip if I want. They told me they will cut any size I want. That's good business as far as I'm concerned. They are willing to work with me. Large places that are on the internet usually have a minimum cut. I like to order a yard no matter how much I need.

I haven't had trouble with that...but I admit I usually buy a 1/2 yard and figure I'll use the rest of it if I don't find out already cut. I find the quilt stores often charge a bit more for the fat quarter..
You live in a beautiful area. I did the usual leaf peeper trail to New England one year and was thrilled with the quilt shops as well as the gorgeous scenery.
