I'm sure as it becomes more popular, the quality will improve. We still have 100's of thousands of sq. mill footage available in New England so maybe that industry will return at last.<br /><br />I also prewash all of my fabric and usually I get the rolled eyes when I tell other quilters and shop owners that I do this but I have several reasons, besides shrinkage there is sizing applied to all of the fabric and residual dye that can be an allergen. When I first started to sew at the age of 15, I was very allergic to the sizing that was applied to the fabric during milling.<br /><br />Great post and congrats on Watson, he's a real cutie!<br /><br />Gail l:)Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003204378492456488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13578815.post-23988569374636437532014-04-19T12:47:58.636+01:002014-04-19T12:47:58.636+01:00I am considering buying some of this fabric to try...I am considering buying some of this fabric to try to support a made in the USA product so I appreciate your review. I too am a pre-washer. No fabric goes into the stash until it has been washed! I want to use it for regular piecing and I don't like lightweight fabrics. I think I get some test half yards here next week but how do it sew up for you?Cherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289245331760170581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13578815.post-43041795892586377372014-04-17T23:42:37.421+01:002014-04-17T23:42:37.421+01:00Thank you for your evaluation of the American fabr...Thank you for your evaluation of the American fabric.
