15. The problem I see online now is "By the Yard" prices can be half or even quarter yard!

"Buy the yard," $5! So I click.

Then I read the YARD is $14 or so.

I wish everyone would list PER YARD price as in fabric stores!! I don't look at a bolt and think, "I wonder if that's $8 per half yard or what?"
