Take a picture for me. ;)

Take a picture for you? What a sense of humor you have. I don't do windows and I don't post pictures....my family hasn't let me touch a camera since l972 and besides I don't know how to send one, I just may have to mail you the fabric to let you see it up close and personal. I've turned the fabric every which way, held it up to the light, etc.... but can't see anything. You would really like it as it is really pretty...

I have used some connecting thread fabrics before and typically if you look at the wrong side of fabric - you can see some difference in the weave, it is usually thicker close to the edge.

Thank you for your kind response. I have found a solution. I have no problem with the selvedges on the regular fabric but the batiks have me baffled as the design is printed all the way to the edge of fabric....but I KNOW there is a selvedge in there.

BTW- that's one small fraction of the fabrics.. there are still more that I HAVENT taken a pic of... so no freakin out if you don't see yours in there.. Chances are I didn't grab that other 10 sets..


I had 12 groups of 13 baggies = 156 sets/156 different individual fabs !!!!

We did have some dups but all in all alot of variety...
