Well, if you like the thinner fabrics of today, get rid of them by doing what others here have posted. BUT, I have some old fabrics and i wouldn't part with them as the quality was sooooo much better then. Cotton actually had a backbone, todays cotton you need to add startch to get the feel, otherwise it's to wishy-washy (weak, overly soft). And todays cottons you can see through them- even those with "quality".
I try and put some of the old fabrics into whatever I'm making and it's a nice memory for me also.
Nope, give me the older fabrics any day.
