Sounds good to me.
Only problem is that worldwide, demand outstrips supply. Also, high cost of fuel adds to transport prices to bring cotton to market. Also, the Fed is decreasing the value of your dollar by flooding the market with cash. In addition, droughts in parts of the country may lead to a smaller crop. I have vowed to sew from my stash this year. I don't see it getting better any time soon-sorry. :cry:
