I do smoke but not in my home, so I did not mind buying it. I always prewash my fabric before I work with it. Is $3.00 a yd to much to try and sell this fabric for? It is OOP Debbie Mumm quilt shop quailty fabric. I am posting a picture of the fabric. Thank you for your input.
I think $3.00/yard is a very fair price. I wouldn't buy it because I'm very allergic to smoke residuals... but I certainly WOULD buy it, if that wasn't the case.
Thank you for being conscientious and mentioning it's true condition, and that it's very faint, likely to be washed and so forth.
I'm not one of those persons who bash other people for choosing to smoke or not smoke or whatever. And I try not to complain too much, but the issue is very real for me. I've had folks send me books.... that when I get them, discover they've been in a smoking environment. Sometimes, I attempt to air it out for months (not kidding) but that usually doesn't work. Just handling the book gives me hives from the residual tar/nicotine that gets leeched into the paper. I would imagine fabric to be the same way.
So thank you again... for your descriptions. I am one of those who deeply appreciates such things!
Blessings,
