I'm going to have to agree with this poster in that thread.

Sorry, but it does diminish them as a supplier as far as I am concerned. I bought from them hoping to support US industry.
Are there any manufacturers left who have not outsourced all their production?
=============================
One of the reasons I loved them so much was that it supported U.S industry. I'm ok with them outsourcing the batik stuff, but not ok with them outsourcing the rest of it. I'll gladly pay 5.96 a yard if it's made in the U.S.

I will continue to buy it too, but it's not just batiks that are being outsourced. I will buy it because I like it and find a good value with it. But I won't spin words to make it seem like it's made in the USA, because it's simply not true. THe only thing made in the USA is the cotton for the material.

I don't about where everybody else shops but in reg.material stores they arent USA either if you read the labels Joanns is one. I say shop and buy what ever you like wheather it's cheaper or expensive. I prefer cheaper myself if you want to go expensive thats fine too. to each his-her own. Thats just my opinion
