As I explain to customers who apologize for buying a small amount of many fabrics - that's my job! And it makes no difference if one person is buying 10 yards or a dozen folks are buying 1/4 yards. You are buying the fabric you want for your project - and I am (happily) selling it to you. If the cutter rolls her eyes or lets out a sigh, please mention it to the manager. There is no excuse for that.
