WE LOVE YOU FOR OUTSOURCING THE JOBS AND CHARGING US MORE MONEY. A DOUBLE WHAMMY FOR US AND A DOUBLE YIPPEE! FOR YOU.
I can't recall any manufacturer - fabric or otherwise - who gets things overseas becasue it costs more! Labor is cheap in other world countries, and I can't imagine how much things would cost if everything was made here! It's a global economy, and we had better get used to it! Not that I wouldn't like to spend less, but, unfortunately, I don't think that would be the result.
