Hi Loretta, just a quick question, I have noticed various references to Sacks that they used for quilting and you have just said they are now being reproduced, I thought when I first heard that it would be really stiff hard material to work with, suppose they had no choice then, but is it how I imagine or have they softened the fabric???
