anyone else remember the days when they clipped and ripped the fabric?

(I still do nip & rip occ. It's the only way to get a true straight of grain unless you want to "pull a thread" [remember that from Home Ec.]).

Another "rememberer" here. I cringe every time they cut and I can see that they are not cutting straight. There is also less fraying on a ripped edge than on a cut one...and I am also a pre-washer. :D

Heck, I still rip. I rip my borders lengthwise and I also rip my binding strips. I then cut off the edges slightly. At least this way I know it's straight. And, darn it, I remember buying fabric at JC Penney's and Sears, too. That was in the dark ages.
