Kelly Casanova Weaving Lessons

Rip or snip?

Hi all! I’m back from a wonderful Easter with a little gripe. Now, perhaps I’m a little bit precious when it comes to fabric but considering I don’t buy beautiful new fabric all that often maybe I’m justified.
I hate it when the sales assistant rips the fabric instead of cutting! There, I’ve said it – I positively cringe when I see my newly purchased fabric being torn.

Grrrr!

How messy is that?!
 
Most of my internet purchases have arrived perfectly cut, folded, pressed and packaged – even tied with ribbon sometimes – love it!
What do you think? Does ripping stretch or otherwise damage the fabric in anyway? Have you ever asked a sales person not to rip?
BTW, these fabrics are part of my design for Vic’s cushion swap – more details later!
