Wow how times have changed. I can not see that kind of advice posted on anything bought now days. Of course most of our stuff comes from China. BYW I have been looking at "made in" labels lately when I buy. Actually found a couple blouses made in the USA. But so far I have not found any fabric made in the USA except for wool from the NE. If you seen any quilting fabric actually made in the USA, please share. I did contact one company in WV who bolts fabric imported from India.
