They say that it is first quality. How would I know if this is first quality and is this a good deal? Thanks for any info.
I would want to lay the fabric out and see if there are flaws in the print, or dye gradations. I got a piece of good fabric one time at a great price, only to get home and find that there was a place where the fabric had a fold in it when it went through the printing process. It was in the center of one side and made it almost useless to me.
