Why is it, that when you buy a precut fat quarter, they insist on including the selvage/branding in the measurement - when you only have to cut the selvage off anyway...
well, my guess is if you bought a quarter metre straight off the bolt, you'd still be getting the selvedge, and a fat quarter is just a normal half metre cut in half the long way.
