I used to cut fabric for Hobby Lobby and (ironically) Walmart. It was at WalMart where I learned that if you cut fabric with lines in it (like plaids, or quilt panels) that you have to cut one side of the fabric at a time.
I understand that it's really freaking time consuming to cut it on the line like that, (used to hate the quilters who'd come in 5 minutes before I was supposed to go to lunch, pull down 30 bolts of plaid and ask for forty-five 1/4yd pieces) But it really needs to be done this way.
I know some people reading this are going to think I'm an anal retentive bitch, but if you've ever worked with plaid fabric you'll understand.
Now I have to go up to WalMart, bitch to the manager, and see if they'll re-cut it (and hope that they still have the same fabric in stock).

hehehee...Well, WalMart is closer than Hobby Lobby is and they're open 24hrs a day, so when I get the urge to go yarn or fabric shopping at 3am, I can do it.
But, having worked for WalMart for 9 hideous and emotionally painful months in 2001, I really shouldnt shop at WM either...I know what a lot of their bad business practices are and we really should not be encouraging them (or giving them more money and keeping them in business)
Years ago, I worked in a fabric store, and being a long-time sewer myself, I knew how to cut fabric. I'm so sorry you got that bad cut at WM. I hope you can salvage what you have and make those bags. I would complain too! As for WM, I haven't been shopping there much anymore either - Hobby Lobby has turned into my new haunt!
