I think she's especially lovely and very generous with all her free videos and patterns. (But I still wouldn't go to her Block Parties - lol)
I think I'll comment with my order, not to TEAR my fabric. Probably some slack sales assistant.
Thanks for all your help ladies.
I think their practice is tearing the fabric to keep it cut on the straight of the grain -- but when I got some at a California quilt show, there was about 2 extra inches on each piece. As noted before, there was a difference in fabric qualities, just like in a regular store, but when you can get it for $3/yard, you can use it for many things if you don't like to quilt w/it. One such piece I used for a tote (loved the design).
