    There are some companies where cotton is grown and processed and dyed and printed in USA. I have found printed at JoAnn's and solid good quality here also, can't remember where, but search would show who.
    And at $7-8 a yard too. Will be ordering some more solid soon. And made in USA. YEA

    The part that amazes me is the actual printing of the fabric - I couldn't believe they screen print. And that they're able to do it as quickly as they do. The cotton and steel line is gorgeous, too!
    I love the smell of Best Press in the morning!
