on some web site today I read that the shelf life of fabric is only 6-12 months. Does anyone know anything about this? Does that mean that the clock starts ticking when it is in the shop?.................I must really be in trouble........... :shock:

Must be some kind of average for a LQS, sure doesn't apply to most of us LOL :D:D:D

Maybe it's the "shelf life" for the designer fabric at that moment?

Shelf life in a LQS ends when a piece of fabric is sold. But shelf life never expires once it gets home!

My fabric shelves have a very long life!!!
Never heard that one :)

never heard of that. I need to go tell my old 100 year old quilts that they have expired...

I know fusible does. stores keep it so long sometimes i've bought some only to find it no longer fuses well.

As long as fabric is clean and dry it should be good. I have fabric that my mother had years ago and it is still very strong and I will continue to use it.

Never heard of fabric having a shelf life if it does I'm in major touble.LOL!!!!

Oh, my goodness. Does that mean I am in danger of my clothes falling apart while I'm wearing them. I hope not!
