Selvage means "self edge", the self-finished edges of fabric. Ok, off my soap box. Hope I didn't offend anyone.
OOPS! You are so right...can only plead exhaustion, trying to get a bunch of quilting for customers finished before I have to head south! Maybe I need to be salvaged cuz I feel like I'm way under!!! :oops:
