I'm a Canadian fabric store, but I sell in yards. Most distributors sold to me in yards, so I decided to sell in yards. Also, I wanted to sell fat quarters, which is 1/4 of a yard.

When you order:

A quantity of 1 = a fat quarter

A quantity of 2 = a half yard (18")

A quantity of 3 = 3/4 of a yard (27")

A quantity of 4 = a full yard (36")

If you want a metre, order a quantity of 5 (a metre = about 40" and you will get 45"

All cuts are continuous meaning if you buy 3 yards (a quantity of 12), it will be cut as a full 3 yards.
