The only fabric I ever returned was because of a flaw that neither the cutter nor I noticed, and my JoAnn employees are good about looking for flaws. Their policy used to be that you could return anything over 1 yard just because you didn't use it. A few days ago my favorite JoAnn cutter told me the "uncut" rule and to save my receipt. Now I'm trying to remember to closely inspect fabric before adding it to my stash.
