American Fabric Rumors
Hi, I just got back from our local Jo Ann Fabrics. I had not been there for a couple of weeks (working on a quilt) and they have some NEW quilting cottons that are just beautiful and reasonably price especially with the coupons they currently have (20% or 15% off) and they say that they are American Made!!!!! I was very impressed, appeared to be good quality and priced to buy (30% off). They had a great choice of fabrics. You may want to check them out if you live near a Jo Ann's.

Just a word of caution. At my Joann's, the manager said that the fabrics were labeled as made in Mexico. She was planning to send a word along to management. It may be that they took advantage of a loophole: North America, South America, Central America. Not trying to stir up a hornet's nest here at all.

I assumed most patchwork fabrics were made in the USA, if not then where? We, in AU, get some from Asian countries because of the cost of manufacturing, but the prices are rising, as one expects. Even so I can still buy fabric at a better price from USA online, including postage. I'd love to see how the designs are made and printed - commercially that is - if anyone knows of a link or two.

At least the Made in America fabric was reasonably priced at $6.29. I visited our local Joann which was recently re-done to the specs of the new owners and almost fell over when I saw nothing-special quilting fabric at $13.99/yd.
