Went to Walmart tonight and was so excited to see the new fall pattern. It is adorable. I picked up the fabrics and as the young woman was cutting them I noticed that the wide border one, a pretty orangey fall leaf pattern, had @OAG, Inc. stamped in tiny letters throughout the pattern! My husband said I should contact them and let them know I'll be charging $1 a month for displaying their advertising! I might machine embroider a tiny leaf over it.

some one else posted a pic the other day of a panel and the manufacturer put their name right inside the design area.

They will learn not to do that when we don't buy there fabric.

Just found that thread. The one on my fabric isn't as bad, but still. Not a good thing at all.

I wouldn't buy it either. Sounds like a letter writing campaign in the making?

Now I don't mind wearing advertising for companies (i.e. my Dr Pepper T-shirt) but the logo was quite obvious when I got it. To sneak advertising into a fabric like that is just plain tacky! We need to call these companies and complain.
