    Thank you for posting this. Quite interesting. Wonder why fabric shrinks after all the processing.

    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!

    Unfortunately, most of the American manufacturers are gone now. I would love to see it come back.
