I guess I've been lucky. The places where I get my fabric cut very straight and I have no complaints. I always get the amount that I paid for. The LQS cuts with a long ruler and a rotary cutter, that way you always get the amount that you asked for. I am so sorry to hear how many get crooked cuts.

Most of my fabrics are cut right, only a few pieces at the most, I have bought many. many yards.

A lot, or the cut the piece shorter, i guess thats not measuring correctly, there so worried they are going to cut mor than they should, how sad for us, we never get our monies worth
|
O always watch the cutter and if the fabric is folded I "help"her straighten it out or whatever the fabric needs. You're paying for it so let them get it right!
|
I have made them recut mine..that is a pet peeve of mine
|
It bothers me when they don't take the time to fold it neatly and I end up with a big lump of wrinkles.
|
I do too but not everyone feels the same way about it. For some it is just a job for others it is heaven!
If I actually find a fabric worth buying at JoAnns I tell the cutter not to bother folding it. It is going right in the wash. They do this work day in and out. I'm sure it can get monotonous. I will also fold my own fabric at these big box stores. peace |
When I pay for a full yard I'd like a full yard. That said, I do try to pay attention to the cutter and correct her if she doesn't smooth the fabric out or looks as if she would cut wrong but if I find a miscut when I get home, that's life. If I don't pay attention or check my fabrics when I bring them home and that's on me. Due to a change of pattern yesterday I had to buy another yard of a fabric. Ouch, $13.49 with tax! I checked the cutter out and checked the fabric when I got home, at those prices I wouldn't want to waste my Stash Dollars on even an inch.

Yes! There have been times that I've straightened or pointed it out before it was cut, depends on the vibe I get from the clerk. But when I've got to have the correct measurement and cannot be shorted I tell them regardless of attitude or insulted feelings.
