I work at a fabric shop. When we cut fat quarters we cut 1/2 yard and then turn it to cut that into two pieces. But we don’t necessarily cut right on that fold because sometimes when factories fold it the selvages don’t line up. If we would cut on that fold then one of the fat quarters would be smaller than the other. So we line up the selvages and then cut in half. Great tutorials for beginners!! ❤
First news, it's the best explanation I've ever heard. I make an effort to use inches because in my country we use the decimal metric system, and it was very difficult for me to understand what they meant by fat quarters. Your videos are really very very educational . 👍
Thank you! Yes, I’ve heard people say that it’s hard to translate a pattern into metric. So many quilting techniques rely on fractions that are easy to accommodate in the Imperial system.
😂. Nothing! But if you hold your fabric with the cut edges at the top and bottom that might help it reset. Even better, watch some how fabric is made videos where they have giant lengths of fabric!

What is wrong with my brain when you talk about the width and all I can think is that's the length not the width lol
