hancocks clearance batiks...
#1
I got some really pretty batiks from hancocks (the fabric in my avitar) and unfolded it last night to piece the backing for my quilt and noticed there is a big hole (about 2") in a section of the fabric right in the middle. Is this common for Hancocks and is this why it was on sale? It was $3 a yard so im not going to bother taking it back but I'm kinda miffed and want to know for the future.
I'm working on a bedquilt so i'll just use muslin for the backing since no one will see it anyway :(

I don't think that is usual at all... I have never known them to sell fabric knowingly that had holes in it...
Probably just a manufacturing blip that got missed, those machines move so fast, the next machine just didn't pick up the defect :( Sorry it happened to you :(

The only time I bought fabric with a flaw in it the clerk pointed it out to me and asked if I still wanted it. I said yes because I could cut around the problem area. She gave me an extra half yard free just to make sure I had enough fabric. They are usually really good about their fabrics.

Well turns out I used a lot of it for my border and used that section anyway. I got some muslin for the back and I think it will work really well. Ill pay attention when they r cutting from now on so that doesn't happen.
