I've had inexpensive fabric shrink a lot. I've had inexpensive fabric shrink hardly at all.

I measure fabric before and after washing it.
By the way, I've gotten "good quality" fabric both inexpensively and expensively.
Just wondering - how many of those that "never wash" measure their quilts before and after washing?
(I'm just sooooooooooooooo tired of all the comments about the chain stores poor fabric quality. Some of it is. Much of it is decent. It's up to the buyer to know what's suitable and what isn't.)
