My pet peeve is finishing off a bolt with 2 or 3 inches left on the bolt. In the old days when you bought the last of the bolt. The clerk would throw in anything less than a quarter yard. I ask why it wasn't donated as part of the purchase. The clerk stated it was the policy to charge by the inch. IN spite I ordered the two inches cut off. When I got home I found the piece had not been squared on one end and it was cut catty whampus anyway. I now have a patch on my sleeper arm because I could not fit the piece. Despite this I am a happy sewing person.
